Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to figure it out alone. My goal is to make the process feel more supportive, clear, and approachable from the very beginning. I help teens and adults feel more confident, manage anxiety, and navigate relationships more effectively. I also support parents in building stronger, less conflict-filled relationships with their teens. Therapy here is not about fixing you or placing blame. It is about creating a space where your inner light, resilience, clarity and strength can emerge and be shared. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, integrating mindfulness, CBT, psychodynamic and narrative principles to support insight, healing and meaningful change. A bit about me...I became licensed in the state of California in 2011. Prior to that, I received a M.A. in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and a B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Women’s Studies from the University of California at Berkeley. I have worked in schools, non-profit agencies, and in private practice, serving diverse populations to include children, adolescents, adult individuals, families, and couples. I look forward to connecting with you. ** También hablo español. No dude en comunicarse conmigo si necesita apoyo. Espero poder conversar con usted pronto.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will focus on what's bringing you in and what you would like to see change. I'll ask questions about current challenges, patterns you've noticed, and any relevant background, while also giving you space to share at your own pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I focus heavily on relationships, communication, and offering practical tools to manage stress and feel more in control. I focus on helping you understand patterns while also creating real, noticeable change. I believe wholeheartedly that when we are truly seen and met with care, something shifts. Healing can begin to happen.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working most with individuals that are open to self reflection and willing to engage in the therapeutic process. I encourage clients to be curious and also allow me the opportunity to earn their trust. While I offer a supportive and compassionate space, therapy is a collaborative process that requires effort and honesty. I support clients in engaging in this work at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

It was only our first session and so much of what she said hit home. Her questions were astute and thought-provoking. I feel fortunate to have met her and look forward to upcoming sessions.
