Great to meet you!

I specialize in working with college-age students and professionals seeking greater clarity and direction. Drawing on my training at UCLA counseling and advanced training in psychodynamic therapy, I offer a holistic, culturally responsive approach to help you better understand yourself and move forward with confidence.

My approach to therapy

I provide identity-informed, psychodynamic therapy that emphasizes the connection between early relational patterns and current functioning. I am committed to a culturally humble practice, inviting the complexity of a client’s social identities into the room. My methodology is integrative and evidence-based; I draw from ACT, DBT, and EFT. This allows me to offer psychoeducation and skill-building while maintaining a focus on long-term, insight-oriented healing.

What you can expect from me

I encourage clients to share openly during their first session. At times, you may notice me asking questions that seem unrelated to your initial concerns. These questions are meant to help me gain a well-rounded understanding of your experiences and ensure that our work together is both thoughtful and tailored to your needs.
