From Filmmaking to Therapy

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) offering online therapy to creatives, therapists, and sensitive adults in California and Oregon. I specialize in working with people shaped by early relational trauma, as well as those navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and relationship challenges.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the film industry, where storytelling became a way to explore meaning, identity, and personal transformation. Through my own creative work, I saw how the stories we absorb early in life continue to shape our inner worlds, emotional patterns, and relationships. That curiosity eventually led me to psychotherapy.

In therapy, I offer a warm, collaborative space where we slow down and explore what lives beneath long-standing patterns. I’m less interested in fixing you and more interested in understanding you. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel deeply seen, understood, and met with curiosity rather than judgment.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and capable on the outside, yet struggle internally with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, or difficulty trusting themselves and others. Together, we explore these patterns with care, helping you build self-trust, steadiness, and more choice in how you relate to yourself and the world.

If you’re curious whether this work might be a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
