Learn MoreAbout Me
As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, and mental health concerns with a compassionate, culturally responsive approach.
I have extensive expertise working with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, older adults, and those navigating challenging life transitions. My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person’s unique experiences, with a particular focus on issues like social anxiety, trauma recovery, mood disorders, and personal growth.
I am committed to creating a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop resilience, and work towards meaningful personal transformation. My approach integrates evidence-based practices tailored to meet each individual’s specific needs and goals.
Whether you’re struggling with panic attacks, relationship dynamics, addiction, or seeking support through significant life changes, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
