I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) and bring a background in education from several years as a teacher. That blend of experience helps me connect with children, teens, and adults in a practical, compassionate way—especially when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, behavioral concerns, and major life transitions. I also have experience working with people of color and the LGBTQIA+ community, offering culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming care and space to explore how identity, family, and culture can shape the challenges you’re facing.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. My style is collaborative and goal-oriented: we’ll combine your lived experience with evidence-based tools to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and move toward a more grounded, joyful, and fulfilling life.
The first session has a few main goals! We are trying to get some background info on you to establish a baseline, understand your biggest priorities and what's bringing you to therapy, and establish some starting goals to help us have some direction as we start our therapeutic relationship.
