About Me
I’m originally from Los Angeles, California and I spent 10 years of my life studying and working in the Netherlands. I hold a masters degree in Counseling Psychology and started my own practice in 2016, primarily serving the expat and international communities. I’ve had clients from over 40 (and still counting!) different countries and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to gain insight into many diverse cultures. I also worked as a research assistant studying the psychological and social needs of victims of human trafficking. Although I moved back to California in 2020, I continue to support individuals internationally.
I’m an avid reader and I regularly attend conferences and trainings. I'm extremely passionate about understanding the human condition, which is not just about addressing challenges; but also about celebrating resilience, transformation, and the beauty of our shared experiences. I prioritize my own personal growth by journaling, meditating, being in nature, engaging in therapy, as well as some of my favorite activities: gardening, yoga, qi gong, dancing, cooking, going to plays, working with the moon cycles, and taking walks with my cats - Marie and Fred.
​
I come from a Jewish lineage, and my healing journey has involved reconciling with my own experiences of shame and disconnection from my heritage. Through understanding intergenerational trauma, I realized the shame I felt was passed down from my ancestors who struggled in an antisemitic climate. Reconnecting with my roots—learning about my family history, the Jewish faith, and culture—has been central to my healing. This experience has greatly influenced me both personally and professionally. I’m committed to helping you explore your ancestral background, if you choose to.
