I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.
I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

I have been working in tele-mental health for the past 3 years and love it. Prior to this, I worked with troubled adolescents and men and women in incarcerated settings. I deeply enjoy providing emotional support and understanding to those who are suffering from a variety of life issues and emotional difficulties. I also enjoy treating anxious clients and those with trauma in need of processing.
Life is full of surprising twists and turns, challenges and opportunities. Balancing life, work, relationships, and the unexpected can be both rewarding and daunting. As a therapist, I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences, deepen your self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Whether you're looking to resolve interpersonal conflicts, heal from trauma, or seek greater balance in your life, I’m here to walk alongside you. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and centered on your emotional needs, helping you build the insight and resilience to thrive.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Northridge
Finding the right therapist in Northridge starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, it helps to find a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific situation. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and style before you reach out.
Northridge is part of the San Fernando Valley, with a diverse community that includes families, college students near CSUN, and working professionals. Many people in the area benefit from providers who offer flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, or bilingual care. Narrowing your search by specialty, availability, and session format can help you find someone who fits your life.
Therapy in the Los Angeles area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage.
