About Me

I am a clinical therapist licensed in California with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and navigating through life changes. I work with a range of clients from teens to seniors and I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will “meet you where you are”, tailoring our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life- whether it’s through improving relationships, getting “unstuck”, or resolving issues from the past- takes courage and I have a lot of respect for that. I am here to support you in the process of finding a better way to be. *Please note that I do not provide couples therapy. Additionally, many clients are waiting for time to become available for appointments- I ask that you please be respectful of their time and of mine. Three no show appointments will result in termination.
