(he/him)
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California that believes mental health is an important aspect to maintaining balance in life. I've been practicing for 6 years with extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety and depression. I also help young adults with life transitions such as starting college and beginning careers. I can help adults develop emotional intelligence, improve communication skills, and build self-esteem.
With a deep commitment to fostering emotional well-being and resilience, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their concerns, enhance their relationships, and develop coping strategies for a healthier life.

I work best with adults navigating difficulties in their life relating to self-esteem, relationships, financial stressors, and future goals. I will walk with you through the journey and encourage you along the way in order to keep you accountable and motivated to move toward accomplishing your goals. I will help process the difficult emotions and aid in developing skills to work through difficult situations.
