Grounded

on a more personal note

I am a New York native who has called California home since 2012. The combination of East Coast directness and West Coast perspective informs how I show up in both my life and my work.

Beyond the clinical, what shapes me:
Scoring over 1,000 points during my high school basketball career
Remaining close with my childhood best friend since the 4th grade
A lifelong love of books, learning, and personal growth
Valuing movement and fitness as a form of grounding and balance

Dahlia

Many clients have come to know Dahlia, my rescue Chug (Chihuahua/Pug). She has been a beloved presence in both my life and practice.

While sessions are currently virtual, Dahlia may occasionally make an appearance on screen. She seems to have a quiet instinct for gravitating toward whoever needs her most.

She is affectionate, food-motivated, and completely unaware of how loved she is.
