With over 17 years of licensed experience providing therapy in the state of California, I have treated a diversity of clients with a wide array of struggles and strengths. We will work together to create a solid plan that meets your needs using therapeutic techniques that the research has shown will help make improvements in the shortest amount of time. To put it simply, the people I meet with for individual or couples therapy often get better in a short amount of time. The path to "better" looks different for each person/couple and I enjoy figuring that puzzle out.
My clients find me to be down to earth, clear, empathic, funny, and real. My specializations include: relationship counseling, grief, life transitions, boundary setting, depression/anxiety, adolescents/young adults, 2nd generation immigrant identity exploration, and people that identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
My education and clinical experience includes: Master's Degree from the University of Chicago, Post-Master's Clinical Fellowship in Child & Adolescent Psychology, trauma work with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, grief counseling, 4 years as a high school therapist, and intensive out-patient (IOP) work with adolescents and young adults

I pull from motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and a person-centered approach— basically a fancy way of saying we'll have real conversations that actually matter. I see you as the expert on your own life (because you are), and I'm here as your guide, supporter, and curious co-investigator.
