Great to meet you!

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University, and I’ve been practicing for over four years. My work is centered around helping individuals, from teenagers to adults, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

I’m here to support you on your journey toward greater balance and empowerment.

My approach to therapy

I truly believe that healing is possible for everyone, and it’s incredibly rewarding to witness the shift in my clients as they start to understand their patterns, challenge negative thoughts, and build healthier ways of thinking and feeling. My goal is to help you evolve into the person you’ve always wanted to be—and feel empowered to live that out in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

I want my clients to leave each session feeling supported, seen, and validated. While some of the work we do can be deep and involve tough self-reflection, my hope is that clients walk away with a sense of relief or clarity, even if the process is still unfolding.
