Hi! I am a queer, liberation-focused psychotherapist. I'm also a second-generation yoga teacher, a psychic witch, an author and an artist. For over a decade, I have helped clients who suffer from depression and anxiety, relationship strife, transitions, self doubt and sometimes just the despair that comes from being conscious in today's world.

I love working with those recovering from years (sometimes decades) of dieting, disordered eating, food obsession, internalized weight stigma and body hatred.

I've mostly worked with women, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, sober folks and those who suffer from body and food stuff.

My training includes IFS, DBT, ACT, and I love utilizing spiritual and mindfulness tools during sessions, if that vibes with the client.

I've been interviewed for various articles, podcasts and broadcasts, including on NPR, and I co-host a podcast that explores how psychotherapy conspires with the many systems that cause mental suffering.

I grew up in the Bay Area, lived in DC and NYC for over 20 years, and recently relocated to Palm Springs CA where I am grateful every day for the dry heat, big sky and the desert vibrations.
