About Me

I work with individuals and groups. I draw on several modalities, with an emphasis on psychodynamic theory, existential theory, and attachment theory. The integration of expressive treatments, when appropriate, is central to my work. In 2008, I co-piloted a poetry program for young men in a detention center outside of Los Angeles, which reflected the power of writing as a tool for healing. Before becoming a full-time private practice therapist, I worked with individuals and families in hospitals, residential facilities, and most recently, at an intensive outpatient program focused on treating substance use disorders. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Scripps College in Claremont, California and my Masters in Social Work from Catholic University in Washington, DC.

My writing has been published in the Journal of the American Academy of Psychotherapists and I have been quoted in the Washington Post on bullying behaviors. In 2022, I received a scholarship to attend the American Academy of Psychotherapists Annual Institute & Conference.
