Great to meet you!

A graduate of UCLA, I have been trained to work with individuals, couples, and families. I have over 10 years of experience and have become passionate about working with individuals suffering from stress, anxiety, relationship issues, racial trauma, and life stressors. My goal as your therapist is to convey compassion and understanding.

My approach to therapy

I utilize CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based Therapy, Harm Reduction, and Solution-Focused Therapy in my treatment and consider each person’s unique context and cultural background with my interventions and treatment plans. I am licensed to practice in the state of California and I am currently welcoming new clients.

What you can expect from me

My goal as your therapist is to convey compassion, and understanding and meet you where you are. Throughout this journey I assist my clients in increasing awareness of themselves, setting healthy boundaries, and beginning the process of healing and growth.
