If you're feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or addiction/substance use, you can regain control and start moving forward. I help adults and couples throughout California build healthier relationships, manage stress more effectively, and break recurring patterns. My approach is practical, direct, and collaborative—focused on real change, not endless processing. I have 19 years experience helping adults and couples as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Addiction Counselor. I'm available online throughout California. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a fit.
A lot of people reach therapy exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone. Therapy with me is active, collaborative, and focused on change. I work well with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready to stop repeating painful patterns. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I know firsthand how difficult it can be to reach out for therapy. I’ve participated in both individual and couples counseling myself, and I understand the vulnerability it takes to sit across from someone new and talk about what matters most. My goal is to make therapy feel like a place where you can be honest, supported, and respected from the first time.

I draw from evidence-based approaches and adapt my style to fit your personality, values, and goals. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you—it's about helping you reconnect with your strengths and create meaningful change. Clients often describe our work as supportive, thoughtful, and goal-oriented. I aim to provide a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered.
