Beginning therapy can be daunting, so congratulations on starting this journey! I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore the deeper layers of your experience. My approach balances acceptance with accountability, supporting you in understanding yourself more fully while moving toward meaningful change. Many of my clients are seeking to better understand themselves: why we react the way we do, where our emotional patterns come from, and how to build more secure and fulfilling connections.

My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Tired of feeling like you have to educate your therapist before you can actually begin? You deserve a therapist who actively celebrates who you are.

With over 8 years training mental health professionals in gender-affirming practices, you won't spend our sessions explaining the basics. You can just show up, exactly as you are.

I work with clients of all ages, from tweens to adults, to build insight, resilience, and self-acceptance. My style is collaborative and grounded in authenticity, humor, and humanity. Above all, I aim to create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and free to explore what healing might look like for you.

I use a strength-based, holistic approach that emphasizes mindfulness and recognizes how trauma affects behavior and development. I prioritize your needs and encourage partnership when establishing and meeting your treatment goals.

I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered approach. I'm patient and respect the time it takes to build trust. I believe words are powerful and help clients shift language patterns that feed negative thinking.

Taking the courageous step to care for your mental health is the foundation for overcoming life’s challenges.

I gained experience by working in outpatient and residential facilities throughout the Los Angeles community, providing individual and group support to those managing co-occurring disorders and family system challenges.

I received a BS from Boston University, and a MS in Counseling from California State University, Northridge, graduating with honors.
