I am accepting new clients. After the recent fires, fraught political tensions, the pandemic, difficult social changes, and economic uncertainty, it is normal to feel anxiety about the future. I am down to earth and easy to talk to which helps people work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways. I tailor therapy to each individual and include all aspects of a person's life, including family dynamics, cultural factors, job/ financial pressures, coping skills and health/ wellness.
With more than 20 years of experience, I work effectively with clients struggling with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction and relationship problems. Through my strengths-based, holistic approach, I help clients shift from having insight about problems to actually making day-to-day, positive changes. I also offer walk and talk therapy.
I earned my Masters in Social Work from USC and have trained in mindfulness at UCLA. I am currently accepting new clients and would be happy to set up a free phone or video consultation to see if I am a good fit for your needs. Best way to get in touch initially is through email. Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you!

I tailor what I use to each individual I work with but I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to counter negative self talk, relational techniques from Gottman and Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques the most. I also often help people set limits and boundaries and help people prioritize their own needs vs. becoming resentful of those around them. I also use humor at times!
