(she/her)
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with over 15 years of experience in the field, including 10 years providing direct clinical services. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, and complex family dynamics. My approach is collaborative and strength-based—I work alongside clients to help find balance, prioritize well-being, and build sustainable strategies for managing life’s stressors. I believe in honoring the resilience that already exists within each person while supporting them in reaching meaningful personal goals.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I approach therapy with cultural sensitivity and humility, recognizing that each individual’s background, belief system, and identity shape how they experience and interpret the world. I believe honoring these elements is essential to effective and respectful therapeutic work. By creating a space where clients feel seen, understood, and valued, we can engage in a more authentic and meaningful healing process.
