I began my clinical path in New York City when I started a master’s in social work at New York University. I received lifelong training from some of the most wise and courageous clinicians in the NYU teaching community. After graduating, I went on to eventually serve as program director for a grassroots community organization, where on any given day I was either buried in grant reports or out back dancing merengue with clients in their 90's. This work left an enduring understanding of human resilience, aging, the power of connection, and that it's truly never too late to heal.

Upon moving to California, I had the double transition of becoming a mom for my first time and shifting to the work of private practice. My own journey into motherhood has deeply enriched my attunement to both myself and my clients.

In addition to clinical and professional trainings, I come with a foundation of my own spiritual and personal growth practices. While I don't bring any of these personal experiences into the therapy room, they do quietly inform how I listen, how I hold space, and how I trust the deeper intelligence of each client.
