My ideal client is someone ready to meet themselves more deeply, often during times of transition—separation, career changes, shifting relationships, or evolving family dynamics. Beneath it all, they seek a safe space to exhale, reflect, and be without judgment. They want grounding, listening, and guidance as they slow down and make sense of life. Their goals include peace in their own skin, trust in themselves, healthier relationships, and resilience in challenges. They come to therapy sensing something needs to shift, seeking tools, support, and gentle guidance toward an authentic, empowered, and grounded life.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you understand what you want to change, yet something inside keeps pulling you back. Choosing to begin psychotherapy—especially trauma-informed therapy—takes courage, trust, and patience. My role is to offer a non-judgmental, supportive, and steady space where meaningful change can unfold, at a pace that feels right for you. This same perspective informs my work as the author of Heal the Body, Heal the Mind, my current writing on a second book, and my contributions to Psychology Today.

I firmly believe that everyone is capable of growth, and it is my desire as a therapist to create a warm, empathic, and nonjudgemental environment where this growth can happen. We all experience challenges, and we are all deserving of the time it takes to heal. I want to partner with you and remind you that you are not alone, and help you navigate a path towards healing in a space where you feel safe, understood, and validated. It is through a strong therapeutic relationship that I work together with individuals and couples as they heal, grow, explore, and find meaning in their journey.

It may have started out as a nagging feeling in your gut that something wasn't right, that eventually grew into a blaring reality that something needs to change. I specialize in mental strategies to improve your life, but there is so much more involved to being mentally healthy than positive thinking. I'm experienced working with psychiatrists, school districts, and advocating for the client's needs. I have years of experience helping individuals manage their mental health needs, evaluate effectiveness of medication, or teach natural ways to tap into the brain's resources to improve functioning and wellbeing.

Does life often seem stuck in patterns that repeat over and over? Feel powerless or helpless to change that experience? Do you frequently feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, self-conscious, or fearful?

My experience, practice, and training have shown me that our ways of thinking and feeling are due to years of self-authored truths. Our perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs about who we are and what everything means keep us trapped. Together, we will chip away at how to re-author yourself in a non-judgmental setting. I currently offer online services.

I have a doctorate in clinical psychology from Purdue University, and most recently spent a number of years as the Clinical Director at the UCLA Counseling Center. I have worked in VA and Community Mental Health settings, and received additional extended training at the UCLA Human Sexuality Program.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re juggling work, family, and the pressures of daily life. You may be feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety or avoidance, unsure how to move forward, or simply ready for a meaningful change.
