Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I’m dedicated to helping teens and young adults navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and the many transitions life throws our way. My approach is warm, understanding and explorative. Together, we will work on building skills to manage overwhelming emotions, develop coping strategies, and discover a sense of inner peace.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I will introduce myself and ask you some brief questions in order to understand your situation better. We will then discuss goals for therapy and hopes for future sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I offer a safe, comfortable space where you can express yourself freely and explore your experiences without judgment. I put an emphasize on your strengths and help create a path towards healing and resilience.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with teens and young adults who are feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed due to school stressors, relationship/peer issues or life transitions. I also enjoy helping new mothers as they navigate the challenges of parenthood and postpartum.
