Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Therapist in California (LCSW #88866). I work with high-performing professionals and couples, focusing on how you think, regulate, and make decisions under pressure. My approach is practical and structured, helping you improve clarity, communication, and how you function in high-demand environments.

My approach to therapy

My approach is clinical and practical, grounded in CBT and self-awareness. I help you identify patterns driving over-responsibility and internal pressure while strengthening how you regulate, think clearly, and respond with intention. The focus is on improving how you function under pressure.

What you can expect from me

Authentic Connection Show up as your true self, fostering trust, empathy, and deeper relationships at work and at home. In our first session, we focus on understanding your beliefs and creating a space where you feel comfortable and supported. I’ll ask thoughtful, direct questions to gently identify patterns and begin outlining a clear, practical path forward based on your needs.
