You might look like you have it all together, but inside, it’s a different story—waves of self-doubt, flashes of painful memories, or a quiet sadness that won’t go away. Maybe you’ve spent years pushing through, trying to keep control, but now it’s catching up to you. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a master’s degree from Cal State Los Angeles, I help adults untangle the emotional weight of trauma, depression, and identity struggles so they can reconnect with a more grounded sense of self.
My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to support meaningful change. Whether you're examining old beliefs or learning to stay present through discomfort, we’ll build on your strengths while gently shifting what’s no longer working.
If you’re tired of carrying so much on your own, I invite you to reach out. Healing doesn’t have to feel like a fight. Let’s find a steadier way forward, together.
