What patterns keep repeating in your life, even when part of you wants something different? I work with infants, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, with a particular focus on experiences that are hard to put into words: the quiet accumulation of feeling disconnected or unseen, questions around adoption and family origins, infertility, the emotional weight of becoming a parent, and the grief that comes when life takes an unexpected shape. A lot of what brings people to therapy is not a single event. It builds. I trained at UCLA and bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to this work.
I believe every relationship holds the capacity to heal, grow, and transform. If you’ve found your way here, it probably means you’re ready for change. You don’t have to face it alone. My passion is helping couples break free from painful cycles, rebuild trust, and rediscover the closeness that first brought them together. Clients often tell me that what makes my work different is the balance of honesty and compassion I bring into the room. I won’t shy away from the hard truths, but I deliver them with care and a deep commitment to helping you thrive.

I enjoy helping clients find their innate wisdom and to grow in positive ways through therapy. My background is in traditional and integrative psychology, energy healing and spiritual development.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck or needing to focus? I enjoy partnering with my clients on their journeys to improved wellness. In our time together, we will celebrate your strengths and develop goals to maximize your wellness, together. While we can't change our past, we can work together to process our story’s strengths and struggles. We can talk through your current challenges and quiet the noise around you. We can explore the barriers that may get in the way of enjoying life to the fullest. We can identify ways to find joy again. I look forward to meeting with you to plan how to achieve your goals.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Fremont starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or another challenge, a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer the right approach. Reading a provider's bio before your first session can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Fremont is home to a diverse community, and many residents look for providers who understand specific cultural backgrounds, speak their language, or specialize in concerns like couples counseling or parenting. Narrowing your search by specialty, session format, and location can help you move from browsing to booking with confidence.
Therapy in the Bay Area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you commit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
