Steadiness, learned the hard way — and taught deliberately.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice since 2015, specializing in the practice of mindful relating with couples, friends, family members, and individuals.

Over the past decade I have worked extensively with high-level executives, entrepreneurs, and physicians — including decision-makers at Google, Meta, Apple, Dell, Tesla, SpaceX, and Genentech — who require discretion, clarity, and direct feedback.

My clinical background includes advanced trauma training, work with complex psychiatric presentations, and certification in EMDR. Relationship ruptures can stir profound emotional turmoil, especially for those with a history of trauma. I work with people over time to develop the skills and practice of mindful awareness as a foundation to rely on during conflict and during repair.

Earlier in my career I interned at the Taos Pueblo Psychiatric Services Division serving Taos Pueblo tribal members and Navajo Nation members. Following my year at the Taos Pueblo I then worked as a therapist at Life Healing Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico — a premier residential treatment center for trauma and complex presentations. That work shaped my ability to navigate intensity with steadiness and precision.
