Great to meet you!

I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

My approach to therapy

I am passionate about making the therapy process comfortable and collaborative with every client I meet. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients learn and understand how their thoughts affect their emotions and behaviors. Grief and loss is a major focus in my practice since it applies to many aspects of our lives, not only in death but also loss of certain roles and relationships in our lives.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I will spend most of the time getting to know you and your background to see where I can best help. My style is very empathic, nonjudgemental and gentle.
