If you're feeling stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by your own thoughts, or unsure how to move forward, you're in the right place. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and ongoing life stress. A lot of the people I see are looking for clarity, relief, and practical ways to handle what they're going through. Together we'll break things down so they actually make sense and build skills you can use in real life, not just in session, so you leave with a clearer path forward that fits what matters to you.

My journey into mental health began with a deep interest in the intersection of human behavior and emotional resilience.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults going through life transitions and experiencing trauma. My current practice includes individual treatment helping adults with anxiety and depression, self-esteem/confidence, grief, trauma and life transitions! Finding a therapist with whom you connect with is important.

Over the past 14 years, I have worked in a variety of settings, including private practice, community clinics and public school settings. These experiences have shaped my belief that therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" process, but rather a collaborative partnership built on trust and evidence-based strategies!

I hold a Master of Social Work from California State Long Beach as well as a Bachelor of Social Work from Azusa Pacific University..
