I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, and I strive to meet each client where they are with curiosity, empathy, and respect. Together, we can work toward feeling more grounded, confident, connected, and empowered in your relationships and in your life.

I earned my B.A. in Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. Outside of therapy, I’m very family-oriented and love spending time with the people closest to me. I’m also a sports lover and enjoy watching and cheering on my favorite teams. One of my favorite parts of life is spending time with my dog, who is definitely a big part of my family. I value the importance of finding balance, staying connected to the people and things we love, and making room for joy in everyday life.

Navigating anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or a difficult life transition? You’re not alone. I work alongside adults offering a warm and compassionate space where you can feel safe to be yourself and explore your experiences. Through a person-centered approach, I support growth, self-discovery, and empowerment while using CBT to gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we’ll build on your strengths and develop personalized tools to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Our first session will be a chance for us to get to know each other, talk about what brings you to therapy, and explore what you would like support with. We’ll move at your pace and work together to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself.
