I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 4 years of experience in providing compassionate therapy and support to individuals and families. I attended the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I have worked in the Non-profit sector, as well as within private practice to gain many perspectives and an array of experience to support clients from many walks of life. I specialize in Adult Mental Health and Wellness, Trauma and Military Social Work.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own personal experiences and my interests in human behavior, attachment theory, and social justice. My nearly six years of experience working in community mental health have strongly influenced my therapeutic lens. I am LGBTQIA+-affirming, committed to working from an antiracist lens, and deeply value inclusivity of all kinds. I have been fortunate enough to serve a socioculturally diverse population, including adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, undocumented individuals, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, and differently-abled children and adolescents.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who obtained my clinical license in 2024, with over seven years of experience supporting individuals through therapy and mental health services, including five years of clinical work prior to becoming licensed. With a Master’s degree in Social Work and a background in community mental health and program leadership, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents and adults as they navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered on meeting each person where they are. I believe clients are the experts of their own experiences, and my role is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools in a safe and non-judgmental space. Together, we focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

I have experience supporting individuals working through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and major life adjustments. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered as you move toward healing and greater balance in your life.

You don't have to have been in a crisis for your struggles to be real -- but if you have, I've likely sat in rooms like the ones you've been in. My career has taken me through emergency rooms, correctional facilities, the Veterans Administration, and child protective services. What that experience taught me is how resilient people are, and how much the right support at the right moment can change everything. Today I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, sleep challenges, and the weight of physical health concerns. If life has been hard, I know how to meet you where you are

Welcome—glad you made it here!

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in crisis mental health and private practice. I help adults and adolescents work through anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship challenges. I understand the impact of high-stress roles where you’re expected to stay in control, even when things build up over time. My style is direct, grounded, and focused on what actually works in real life. I provide a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and be challenged in a way that leads to real change.

My goal is to provide high quality client-centered care, utilizing a humanistic approach. I am focused on validating my client's life experiences and providing a safe and non-judgmental space to share. I also believe in holistic point of view and integrative care of body, mind, and spirit.

My clinical experience includes working with children, teens, and adults with many issues including: grief, work-related stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism).

I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who, despite their success, struggle with anxiety, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and self-doubt. You may look confident on the outside, but inside, you feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from true fulfillment. I understand the unique pressures that come with success and provide a supportive space where you can be honest about your struggles without judgment. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or carrying the impact of past experiences, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist (Ph.D.) with a postdoctoral fellowship in integrative health. I have experience working in public mental health, large healthcare systems, and the private sector. I’ve worked with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life stressors.

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed and culturally responsive, and I integrate evidence-based practices to help you better understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system interact. Clients often share that they feel both supported and gently challenged in our work together. I aim to meet you with empathy while also helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.
