Learn MoreAbout Me
As a licensed therapist in California and Texas, I bring over two decades of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on creating affirming, culturally responsive spaces for diverse clients, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, grief and loss.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals navigating challenging life transitions, identity exploration, and personal growth. My approach honors each person’s unique experiences, with a particular focus on multicultural concerns, women’s issues, sexuality, and life transitions/challenges.
My therapeutic style emphasizes compassionate, collaborative healing. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop self-love, improve communication, overcome isolation, and rediscover personal purpose. Whether you’re struggling with workplace stress, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.
In my free time I enjoy gardening, baking/cooking, reading, dancing, snow skiing, singing, exploring new cultures, traveling, camping, kayaking, volunteering, crafting, writing and spending time with my family, grandchildren and friends.
