Learn MoreAbout Me
As a licensed therapist with extensive experience in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person’s unique journey, with a particular focus on helping clients navigate stress, depression, life changes, and interpersonal dynamics.
I bring decades of professional expertise in addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including social anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship difficulties, and personal growth. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-compassion, effective communication, and empowering clients to discover their inner strength and resilience.
My practice centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. Whether you’re struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m committed to walking alongside you with expertise and genuine care. My availability for BetterHelp clients is midday Monday thru Thursday.
