Are you exhausted from being misunderstood, even by the people closest to you?
I work with individuals who feel “caught between worlds”—emotionally, culturally, or relationally.
My clients are often high-functioning on the outside, yet inside they carry long-term wounds such as:
• Childhood emotional neglect or trauma
• Multicultural or immigrant-family conflict
• DV, narcissistic partnerships, or prolonged relational trauma
• Repeating painful patterns in relationships
•Deep loneliness, self-doubt, or feeling “too much”
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and you’re not the problem.
You adapted to survive.

I specialize in therapy for individuals and couples and focus on improving relationships, self-esteem and mood. I combine Cognitive-Behavioral and Family Systems approaches into counseling. There is also a great emphasis on increasing participation in hobbies and interests as well as diet and exercise while doing mental health work in therapy. Referrals, resources, and recommendations may be given in order to support couples or individuals in this.

Therapy work is a process of self discovery that's both fulfilling and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my commitment is to provide you with a safe and creative context for an ongoing collaboration. Together, with compassion, persistence and humor, we'll work to identify and uncover self-sabotaging behaviors: the conditioned ways of being and outmoded ways of thinking that often manifest as confusion, self-doubt, fear, anger or anxiety.

I believe in the importance of creating a trusting, safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. I view each session as an opportunity to grow by working through personal challenges, developing greater self-awareness, learning to set healthy boundaries, and exploring the positive and negative styles of thinking. I believe that although treating symptoms is important, people must look at the deeper underlying issues that might include low self-esteem, codependency, or childhood trauma.

RO-DBT California Collective located in Irvine, CA was founded to provide a compassionate, welcoming and supportive environment for individuals that struggle with over-thinking, obsessional thinking, trouble relaxing, rigid or inflexible responding, excessive self control, avoidance of feelings or expressing emotions, maladaptive perfectionism, and high levels of loneliness. People with overcontrol (OC) report "seeing the threat everywhere." They tend to mask emotional expressions, sometimes without even knowing they are. Many OC's have a high-attention-to-detail focus, and find they ruminate when things are uncertain or unexpected.

I offer telehealth video sessions, in-person rare but possible.
Most therapists can't hold what you're actually carrying. I can. You show up successful, together, high-functioning, and still feel like you're drowning. Or you've been misdiagnosed, pathologized for having depth, told you're "too much" when you're just being honest. You're exhausted from code-switching to survive spaces that drain you. You keep attracting the same patterns in relationships, or you're tired of losing yourself. You know your struggles aren't personal failures but responses to real things. You need someone who can sit w/ you while you untangle what's yours, what you inherited, and what you're ready to let go of.

These are such intense and overwhelming times. We are all grieving. Maybe you have had some anxiety or a history of trauma but overall you were functioning and feeling OK without ongoing therapy. Or despite all you do to take care of yourself, you are experiencing quite a bit of anxiety and stress, struggling with feelings of shame, anger or self-hatred for a very long time. Your nervous system is on overload and everything feels overwhelming, exhausting, scary. The existential pain you’ve struggled with is back and real and being felt by you and people all over the world.
