Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California. I also have a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C). I have over 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, open-mindedness, and collaboration, I believe that every person’s journey is unique, I will focus on meeting you where you are today while helping you reach your goals.

My approach to therapy

I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Humanistic Therapy. Regardless of what you are currently facing, I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore, grow, and thrive. My main areas of focus are perinatal mental health and postpartum support, women's issues and mental health, relationship dynamics and communication, professional stress (especially within healthcare settings), anxiety, and depression.

What you can expect from me

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can work towards reaching the goals that are important to you. In a first session, I will look to get to know a little bit about you, including your main areas of concern and your goals. As we continue to work together, I will support you to build on the strengths that already exist within you while developing new skills and learning new tools to help you on your journey. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, addressing a specific concern, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to support you in becoming more empowered in everyday life.
