Great to meet you!

Having had a positive experience with therapy myself, I was inspired to pursue a career where I could help others in a similar way. I'm an LA native who graduated from Cal State with a BA in Psychology and from USC with a Masters in Social Work. My experience spans working with a wide range of populations, including infants (0-5), children, teens, and adults.

I'm also a proud dog and human mother who enjoys running and baking bread.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is centered on collaborative teamwork, ensuring clients feel heard and understood. Recognizing that each person is unique, I tailor my methods to meet individual needs. Building strong rapport is crucial, allowing me to understand clients' journeys and provide empathetic support. By fostering a compassionate environment, I aim to help clients navigate their challenges and achieve their goals.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to leave sessions with me feeling more positive and equipped with practical tools to improve their well-being. My goal is to ensure that they feel supported in accomplishing their therapy goals, knowing that I am there to guide and assist them throughout their journey.
