***I accept First Choice Health insurance, which frequently contracts with some Kaiser plans. Please call to confirm I am in-network with your plan.*** I approach therapy from an evidence-based perspective by letting you know what the research has shown to be the most effective way of handling whatever problems you’re struggling with. From there, we can work together to adapt that type of therapy to fit your specific needs & life circumstances so we can figure out how to make our sessions most helpful for you. I specialize in CBT, DBT, CPT/PE, Schema Therapy & Mindfulness-based therapies amongst other evidence-based psychotherapies.

Welcome! I provide a safe, warm, and nonjudgemental space to explore what you are going through together.
My speciality area is OCD and anxiety treatment for ages 5 & up. I used evidence-based modalities such as ERP and ACT to help you find relief and move towards the life you want for yourself. As I have lived experience with OCD, I can offer a deep level of understanding and validation for what you are going through, in addition to having the specific knowledge and training.

My clients are self-aware but feel stuck. They may struggle with anxiety, relationship stress, low self-esteem, or pressure from work, school, or family. They want real change, not quick fixes. They are looking for a space that feels safe while also encouraging growth. Their goals drive them to understand their habits, manage their emotions more effectively, communicate clearly, and build healthier relationships. They are seeking the comfort of a confidant; someone who will help carry that weight, and maybe have a few laughs along the way. Ultimately, they are ready to break old cycles and create something different.

Do you have constant "what if" thoughts and struggle to be present in your relationships and life? Have you ever felt scared of your own thoughts and worried about what they mean?

My ideal client is someone who is ready to heal from the inside out. They may be carrying the weight of childhood wounds, unresolved trauma, anxiety, or self-destructive patterns like addiction. Often, they’ve tried traditional approaches and still feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure how to move forward. Their goals are deep: to feel safe, to understand their patterns, to quiet the inner critic, and to reconnect with a sense of purpose and peace. Whether through inner child healing, past life regression, or subconscious reprogramming, they are seeking not just symptom relief, but true healing.

I guide healing at the root through EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). EMDR cures phobias, resolves the effects of traumatic experiences, facilitates crystal clear insights, and supports growth, self-actualization, and secure attachment. It is a powerful embodied experience that activates flow-state healing in the brain while simultaneously creating new adaptive neural connections. Many clients resolve issues in months rather than years. This is a transformational and liberatory therapy that reconnects you to your truth and vitality. I am honored to offer EMDR for individual and collective healing.

Most couples or individuals have moments where life stages or changes feel hard or maybe you have mismatched desire.

I work to improve communication via attachment work, redefine what works for you/the relationship and help you recreate or maintain intimacy and connection with your partner as you navigate changes. I bring laughter and a safe space to each of my clients in our work together.

I am a daughter of immigrants; a daughter of the diaspora; a wounded healer; an intellectual, spiritual, and queer Chingonx. These are a few identities that influence how I interact / experience the world around me, and stories attached to them: past and present. In my therapeutic work, I continue to work towards decolonization of both my healing practices and myself. My healing work is inherited; I come from a lineage of people seeking healing. Professionally, I started healing work with young people as a case manager, advocate, and mental health counselor in 2016.

Have you experienced childhood trauma or adversity? Have you experienced trauma in adulthood? You may have experienced both and are struggling to find relief from very confusing symptoms. You have likely tried many things to help you feel better, but still have problems with your sense of self, self-esteem, mood swing and struggle with interpersonal relationship problems. Painful past experiences and chaotic, neglectful or simply stressful environments growing up can contribute to post-traumatic stress symptoms, anxiety, depression and even OCD. Maybe you even feel like you're going crazy. Don't give up! There is hope.

My practice is for all ages.
I work well with adults who are ready to look inward in order to find a new path forward out of patterns that keep them trapped. Freedom comes through a shared examination and expression of one's experience.
I work with children struggling with overwhelming feelings, emotional outbursts, or other troubling behaviors. I offer a warm and supportive space for play therapy in which I listen carefully and serve as guide and translator of troubling feelings and behaviors. I enjoy helping parents understand concerning behaviors and connect deeply with their children.

You don’t have to be stuck in the past. You can't change what has happened in the past, but you can change how you interpret it and how you move forward from it. It may seem like you don’t have control of your life, but you do. What is stopping you from accomplishing your goals: fear, trauma, lack of desire? My goal as a therapist is to help you overcome these barriers so that you can live the life that you want.

It takes a special kind of courage to ask for help. Whether we have had a hardship sneak up on us, or been wrestling with it for a lifetime, expressing out loud a need for assistance is an act of bravery. I have been working as mental health counselor and psychotherapist since 2014, and in that time I’ve been honored to witness these acts of bravery from adolescents, adults of all ages, and families. I believe that our experiences matter and are worth talking about.
