About Me

I am a licensed therapist in California with three years of clinical experience and over a decade of prior work in addiction recovery. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges related to relationships, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create an open, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from various modalities based on each person’s unique needs—because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.

At the core of my work is the belief that you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide, helping you discover clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to honor that by supporting and empowering you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.
