You deserve to feel seen and supported. With over 13 years of experience, I work with adults and adolescents navigating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, women's issues, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, highly personalized, trauma-informed, and holistic, honoring each client's lived experience, culture, strengths, and goals as we build insight, self-compassion, and meaningful growth together.

As a psychologist and marriage and family therapist, I draw on DBT, ACT, EMDR, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches, personalized to you. I offer telehealth across California and am accepting new patients.

You deserve to feel seen, supported, and understood. If you're ready to build insight, self-compassion, and meaningful growth, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
