about me

I seriously love my vocation as a therapist, and draw from personal experience, scientific research, and clinical training and experience to inform my practice. To me, therapy should feel like a real, human connection: warm, supportive and curious.

My style is direct yet empathetic, validating, and open-minded. I create a space where you can kick off your shoes (metaphorically or literally), be totally yourself, and say what’s really on your mind. I will also be your teammate and accountability buddy - we’ll tackle the tough stuff together to get you feeling more in control of your emotions.

about conscious therapy

I founded Conscious Therapy in Santa Monica, California in 2022 with the goal of addressing the community’s need for mental health services during the pandemic. My aim is to provide high quality, evidence-based services and always create safe space for those who are looking to heal and grow.
