In a world that is increasingly isolating, therapy is a place for connection. This kind of human contact has always been precious to me. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a bodyworker and end-of-life caregiver. In my years working with my clients' embodied tension and being with families on the cusp of loss, I've come to revere the courage required to have a human body and be present for its changes. It has been a privilege to accompany individuals and families through pain, grief and release in those roles. 

 

​Wanting to deepen this work, I completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Santa Barbara with a focus on somatic psychotherapy. I trained at the Southern California Counseling Center, where I have worked primarily with queer-identifying young adults.

For some, it can feel supportive to see a therapist who shares an aspect of your identity, culture or life experience; I come with the lived experience of bisexuality, Ashkenazi Jewish identity and chronic pain. When I’m not engaged in therapy work, I enjoy cooking for loved ones, reading contemporary fiction, making fiber art and floating in water.
