Life has a way of throwing us off course—whether through the slow burn of anxiety, the heaviness of depression, or the disorientation that comes with major life changes. You might be doing all the “right” things & still feel like something’s missing, like you’re just going through the motions. I offer a space where you can drop the pressure to perform & start exploring what’s really going on beneath the surface. I earned my MS in Counseling with a focus on Multicultural Community Counseling from San Diego State University in 2016, & I specialize in working with individuals facing depression, anxiety, & adjustment-related challenges.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, I help clients explore their experiences with compassion and clarity—always grounded in the context of their lived identities and values.
If you're ready for a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and start building real change, I’d be honored to walk that path with you. Reach out when you're ready.
