At some point in our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves struggling with emotional pain and daily life challenges. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous, resilient, and self-directed. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment, where clients can begin to understand and work through the complexities of their emotional and behavioral challenges. I tailor treatment to my client’s strengths and goals, assisting them in breaking maladaptive coping strategies and poor habits while acquiring effective coping skills, which promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others.

Stress and depression can quietly shape how you move through your days, leaving you feeling drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that strain your relationships. You might find yourself carrying more than others realize, questioning how things got this heavy or how to shift them. With an MS from Cal State University Dominguez Hills, I support teens (14+) and adults in making sense of these experiences and finding a way forward that feels more manageable and aligned.

Do your emotions take over in ways you regret? Whether you lash out, shut down, or spiral into overthinking, I can help you manage them. I work with people who seem to have it all together on the outside but struggle with self-criticism, intense emotions, and self-sabotaging behaviors. Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same frustrating cycles, knowing there are better ways to handle things, but in the moment, it feels hard to follow through. I won’t just nod along and validate (though you’ll get plenty of that too). I’ll teach you practical, science-backed skills to regulate emotions and break unhelpful patterns.

Therapy with kids isn’t about fixing—it’s about listening differently. For me, that starts with creating safety and connection through play, creativity, and attunement. I understand that big behaviors often speak to even bigger feelings, and that kids sometimes “tell the truth” through their actions before they can find the words. I work to honor each child’s inner world while helping them and caregivers make sense of what’s showing up. Whether we’re building regulation skills, processing hard experiences, or learning how to feel safer in our bodies and relationships, my approach is warm, collaborative, and developmentally grounded.
