Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY 31901) & Supervisor (she/her)

Founder, Inner Guide Therapy Los Angeles

​

Therapy isn't just about analyzing the past — it's about creating new emotional experiences in the present. I aim to be a steady witness, collaborator, and challenger: someone who helps you notice what's happening internally, understand it more fully, and make room for new possibilities. Sometimes the work is heavy, and grief is part of the growing process. Other times, humor, new perspectives, and cultural references help ease the way. I draw on psychoeducation, relational work, body-based techniques, and skills-building when needed to support both insight and action.

​

As a bilingual child of Jewish refugee immigrants and a first-generation college student, I bring a personal understanding of bicultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and resilience. I'm particularly passionate about how early experiences, family histories, and cultural narratives live on inside us — sometimes offering strength, and sometimes getting in the way of what we long for now. Therapy creates space to honor these legacies while building something new.

​

Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, community clinics, and residential treatment centers, supporting individuals, couples, and groups across life stages. After graduating from Cornell University with a degree in psychology, I earned my doctorate at Yeshiva University in New York City and completed my APA-accredited internship at Nassau University Medical Center. I'm a former board member of the Group Psychotherapy Association of Los Angeles (GPALA), reflecting my belief that some of the deepest healing happens in relationship — not only in individual therapy, but especially in the dynamic space of group work.

 

Outside of therapy, I'm a lifelong student of the mind and human condition. I love animals — especially my cat Lychee and my rescue dog Matisse, who is currently in training to join me as an animal-assisted therapy dog. Therapy, like life, can hold both seriousness and playfulness — and unexpected moments of hope.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for a different way of being, I invite you to reach out. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.
