Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Diego, offering telehealth sessions to clients across California. My practice is built on a genuine commitment to helping people work through real-life challenges — whether that's stress, relationships, major transitions, or simply feeling stuck. I bring a direct, warm approach to therapy, and I believe the best work happens when you feel supported without judgment.

My approach to therapy

My approach is practical and collaborative — I focus on what's actually going to help you move forward, not just talking about problems in circles. I draw on evidence-based methods and tailor my style to fit your specific needs and goals. I'm direct, I'll share what I think, and I encourage the same honesty from my clients.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation — I'll want to hear about what's brought you in, what's been difficult, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before we meet. By the end, we'll have a clear sense of where to start and what our work together can look like.
