About Me

As a licensed therapist in California with three decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating diverse personal experiences—from relationship dynamics and workplace stress to trauma recovery and identity exploration.

I am deeply committed to understanding each client’s unique journey, offering specialized support for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, life changes, and interpersonal challenges. With my background as a yoga and meditation instructor, I bring a holistic and person-centered approach that can incorporate a variety of creative healing modalities based on the needs and interest of my clients.
