Great to meet you!

Starting or considering therapy is a big first step, and holding a safe space for you is an honor. As a seasoned therapist, I helped numerous young adults and working professionals find more meaning and fulfillment by overcoming stress, conflict, burnout, trauma, and substance. In addition, with nearly a decade of experience in tech/startup and related industries, I understand the unique pressures of fast-paced, high-demand environments and finding balance to thrive.

My approach to therapy

I blend proven therapies with innovative approaches, including EMDR and medications, to reduce alcohol use when appropriate. I've led research and taught at UCLA, USC, and DU. Having traveled to over 80+ countries, my culturally informed approach ensures that therapy is tailored to your unique background and experiences.

What you can expect from me

I aim to create a therapy space where clients feel safe, heard, and valued. I want my clients to feel comfortable expressing themselves without judgment, knowing they are in a supportive and compassionate environment. Through our sessions, I aim for clients to experience a sense of trust, empowerment, and connection as we work together toward healing and personal growth.
