Hi, and welcome to this space.
Whether you’re browsing, or actively searching for a counselor, welcome to this space! Life balance and problem solving take effort, and this is a great step in your journey!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California. I am a graduate of both Loyola Marymount University and Antioch University, Los Angeles where I refined my counseling skills. In the past ten years I’ve worked with various individuals who realize that they could use assistance navigating areas of their lives. We are all most knowledgeable about ourselves; sometimes we simply need assistance unraveling some of the challenging areas of this journey.
This thought is the foundation in which my therapeutic style rests. Together we can navigate this space using strategies and tools to develop insight to create the change you need! I value building a relationship that allows you to be as transparent as you need in order to achieve the goals set.
Let’s begin this journey together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
