Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or worn down by stress? Maybe nothing is "wrong" but life isn't fitting the way it used to. I'm a California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps adults gain clarity and make meaningful changes. My work blends deep insight with practical, goal-focused therapy. My background includes military service and I am a graduate of USC.
The first session is a structured intake where we'll review your history, current concerns, and goals. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore options, and make sure this feels like a good fit. It is normal to feel nervous before meeting a new therapist and I hope to put you at ease quickly.
Clients often say that therapy with me feels unique. I'm approachable, grounded, and practical, with a sprinkle of humor when it fits. My approach is eclectic, tailoring a personalized treatment plan for each person. I offer a judgment-free space to explore your concerns and develop tools to alleviate symptoms.
I help anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression. Whether you're an overthinker struggling to sleep, finding it hard to move past a trauma, facing a big life transition, or just feeling out of sorts, we can work through it together. Whatever brings you to therapy, you're not alone, and there's always hope.
Eclectic
My theoretical approach can best be described as eclectic, as I create a bespoke treatment plan for each individual. I am skilled at using a variety of techniques, but the most important factor in therapy is the relationship between you and me. So, my overall goal is to nurture our therapeutic relationship and create an open, accepting space for you.
