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 5 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.

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

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.
