About me

As an LCSW with 7 years of experience, I am deeply committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions and navigate challenging life situations. With a Master’s degree from USC, I bring both professional expertise and a heartfelt, client-centered approach to therapy. My goal is to help you process past experiences, develop healthy coping strategies, and foster personal growth, so you can find healing and move forward with confidence. Together, we can work toward creating meaningful and lasting change in your life.

Get to know me

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

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and confidential environment where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. We’ll begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any current challenges you’re facing. I’ll ask questions to understand your history, your strengths, and what’s most important to you in your healing or personal growth journey. Together, we’ll start to explore ways to approach your concerns and develop a plan for moving forward. The first session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the process, the types of therapy I use, and how we can best work together to meet your needs. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and supported as we begin building a partnership for your mental health and well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my empathy, ability to build trust, and the depth of my therapeutic knowledge. With seven years of experience, I’m skilled at creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported. I am particularly adept at tailoring therapy to fit each individual’s needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness practices to help clients make meaningful progress. My ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds is another strength—I value cultural sensitivity and work hard to meet clients where they are in their unique journeys. I also bring a solution-focused approach, helping clients not only understand their challenges but also identify practical tools and strategies for overcoming them. Ultimately, I’m committed to walking alongside my clients as they heal and grow, empowering them to make lasting changes in their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as those coping with stress, grief, and personal growth. Whether you're looking to heal from past experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, or work through a difficult life stage, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you gain insight, build resilience, and achieve lasting positive change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I've been incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice for the past five years, and it's been effective in helping many clients address recurring thoughts and manage anxiety. In our work together, we'll explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By understanding this relationship, we can reshape your thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and stress, leading to a calmer, more balanced life.

She makes me challenge my thinking and question where my thoughts and feelings come from. She is a great listener because when she responds it feels like she knows exactly what I’m trying to say and is able to use her knowledge to guide me.
