Great to meet you!

YOUR story matters, YOUR healing matters. I'm here to support YOU! I bring 27 years of experience in mental health and psychiatry, with a strong commitment to compassionate, individualized care. I earned my master's degree from UCLA and completed my PMHNP training at National University. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and cared for,

My approach to therapy

Everyone’s story is different, and I believe YOUR care should reflect that. I take time to understand what YOU are going through, what has worked or not worked in the past, and what you hope to feel moving forward. Together, we will create a treatment plan that feels realistic and supportive. My goal is to help you feel more stable, more empowered, and more hopeful.

What you can expect from me

YOU can expect me to listen without judgment and to be honest, compassionate, and respectful in the care I provide.

I want you to leave each visit feeling heard, understood, and more confident about your next step.
