Hi, I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT) in California. I received my M.A. from Touro University Worldwide in 2022. As a therapist, my goal is to help you create lasting change by providing a safe and supportive space for exploration, healing, and growth. I specialize in a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that is tailored to your unique needs and experiences.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I want to ensure that you feel comfortable, heard, and respected from the very beginning. In our first session, the goal is to begin building a strong foundation for our work together, and to create a space where you feel safe enough to share your story.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am committed to walking alongside you as you navigate your healing journey. With warmth, patience, and a trauma-informed approach, I will provide you with the resources you need to move past old wounds and build a brighter, more resilient future.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
I work from an attachment-based framework, which recognizes that our early relationships play a critical role in shaping our emotional well-being. Together, we will explore these dynamics to understand how they impact your current relationships, behaviors, and emotional patterns. By healing attachment wounds, we can strengthen your ability to build healthier connections with yourself and others.
EMDR
EMDR is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and reframe distressing memories, thoughts, and emotions. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, anxiety, or unresolved emotional pain, EMDR can facilitate deep, transformative healing by helping you make sense of and move beyond past events.
Trauma Informed Care
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that trauma can manifest in many forms—whether it’s from past events, relationships, or systemic oppression. I prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where you can feel empowered to explore and process your experiences. I will work with you to develop coping strategies that allow you to navigate difficult emotions and memories, while also helping you build resilience.
