I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California's Bay Area. I believe in a holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual), culturally sensitive, person centered approach to therapy. I have a great interest and passion in perinatal/ postnatal work as well as life transitions, grief and loss and caregiver support (whether caregiving for a child, spouse, parent or family member). I integrate inner strength, stress management, self-care, physical health and many other aspects of wellness into sessions. I strive to provide an authentic and non- judgmental environment that can be humorous and fun, as well as vulnerable and challenging. Being a mixed-race woman born and raised in a multicultural family and community, I place a high value and appreciation for working with a diverse client population. I am very intentional about creating a safe and welcoming therapeutic relationship and I believe that this is essential for change and growth when engaging in therapy. I am humbled to begin working with you.

I am a mental health therapist who is based in Orange County, CA. I received my B.A in psychology and social behavior at the University of California, Irvine. My area of study there centered on psychological and neurological functions of a person and how this contributes to each person's unique life experiences. I went on to receive my M.A for social welfare from the University of California, Los Angeles. My area of concentration there were health and mental health across the lifespan. My previous research centered around looking at rates of burnout and compassion fatigue in different work settings. I have also been involved in research centering around how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can affect an individual's stress response and how individuals with higher ACEs are more likely to have more negative physical health outcomes later in life. My specialty areas involve working with clients who have gone through different traumas and helping clients adapt, cope and grow. I believe that every client is uniquely different so I tailor my therapeutic modalities to the client's presenting needs. I enjoy my role in helping individuals achieve the best version of themselves. In my free time, I love keeping my mind and body active with physical fitness, reading, being out in nature, traveling and spending time with my dog.
