Great to meet you!

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding the right therapist is an important first step, so I’m really glad you’re here. I help adults across California navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, and life’s big transitions. Whatever you’re carrying, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard and understood, right from the very first conversation.

My approach to therapy

My style is collaborative, compassionate, and always tailored to you. Together, we’ll gently notice the patterns that keep getting in your way, strengthen your coping skills, and build practical tools that create meaningful, lasting change. I want our work to feel like a safe place where you can be fully yourself, while also feeling supported enough to grow and move forward.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is simply a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your goals, and what matters most to you, then start shaping a personalized plan together. My hope is that you leave feeling supported, understood, and with a clearer sense of direction. Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. If this feels like a fit, I’d love to connect for a 15 minute consult.
