Great to meet you!

Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in South Bay LA, and have been practicing for over 8 years. I received my Masters from University of Southern California, and work primarily with teens, adults, and young adults who struggle to feel good about themselves and where they are in life.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy working with ages 12+. Each age group brings it's own set of challenges around family, friendships, school/work, and identity that make it tough to know how to feel good and move forward in a way that feels positive. I love to create that safe space where you can open up and explore these struggles, and we will work together in creating a greater sense of self-esteem, healthy boundaries, better communication, and capacity to cope so you can live a life that feels more authentic and joyful.

What you can expect from me

My main goal for our first session is to create a space where you can feel comfort and safety in sharing your inner-most self. Through warmth, compassion, and curiosity, I hope to create an environment that is supportive and free of judgment. I will also begin to assist you in building awareness surrounding patterns that prevent movement, and in exploring new ways to elicit change.
