I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist providing in-person therapy in Los Feliz and Highland Park, serving adults and couples across Northeast Los Angeles. My work is especially suited to thoughtful, high-functioning people seeking depth-oriented psychotherapy rather than short-term symptom management.

Before becoming a clinician, I earned a PhD in Philosophy from UCLA and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford’s McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society. I completed my clinical training at Smith College School for Social Work. My background in philosophy continues to shape my approach: I am attentive to complexity, meaning, and the ways we come to know ourselves in relationship.

I am an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and an affinity therapist for LGBTQ+ clients. My practice is explicitly queer- and trans-affirming, with particular experience working with gender-expansive adolescents and their families. I work with both individuals and couples navigating identity, intimacy, anxiety, depression, and relational conflict.

As a White clinician who works frequently with BIPOC clients, I strive to maintain a practice that is actively anti-racist. I welcome conversation about what this means in the consulting room; if you are curious or skeptical, I am glad to extend our initial consultation to discuss it directly.

In addition to my clinical work, I run a psychoanalytic reading group for queer- and trans-affirming therapists in Northeast Los Angeles, where we read both classic and contemporary analytic writers.

I am a member of the American Psychoanalytic Association, the Society for Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychology (APA Division 39), and the American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work.
