Great to meet you!

Life can feel incredibly overwhelming when you're going through difficult challenges. If you're here, I imagine you want to make a change and believe that life doesn't have to feel so unmanageable. Whatever it is that's making you feel stuck, I believe that therapy can help. Talking about the difficult things in your life with a licensed therapist who listens first, offers empathy, and provides therapeutic interventions and support can often help you build or rebuild your self-esteem and confidence as you navigate relationships, careers, and your future. If we find we're a good fit, I hope to be that therapist for you.

I am a licensed therapist in California who helps adults move through anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma — without judgment and without rushing you. My approach blends evidence-based tools with genuine warmth, creating a space where healing happens at your pace.

If you're ready to take the first step, I’m here to support you—let’s talk about how I can help you move forward.

My approach to therapy

As a licensed therapist, I offer a judgment-free space for you to be honest about your thoughts & feelings. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space for healing, growth, and building resilience. My approach is to go at your pace, provide plenty of support, and help build your confidence in navigating your own life and emotions. I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, so treatment will be tailored to your specific needs and can include Trauma-Focused, Client-Centered, and Cognitive-Behavioral interventions.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and identify clear, specific goals to guide our work and help you track your progress. From there, we will continue to focus on your goals during each session. I will meet you where you are at in how you're feeling and how your week is going, and offer reflective thoughts and questions to help best support your needs. Most clients begin to notice meaningful improvements over time as they actively engage in therapy.
