- LCSW
I am a licensed therapist in California with six years of direct therapy experience and over 4 years of diverse professional expertise spanning education, human resources, and social work. My passion lies in helping individuals, from adolescents to mature adults, navigate life’s complexities with greater confidence and resilience. I specialize in supporting clients facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, motivation struggles, self-esteem issues, career transitions, and life changes.
In my work, I integrate evidence-based approaches within a psychodynamic therapeutic model with personalized strategies to empower you in achieving your goals. Additionally, I draw upon personality development frameworks, such as the Enneagram, to provide deeper insight into your core strengths and unique potential. My approach is grounded in the belief that you are the expert of your own story and possess innate strengths that can guide you through life’s challenges.
Taking the first step of starting Therapy to create a more fulfilling life takes courage, and I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. Whether you're facing uncertainty, seeking personal growth, healthier relationships, or striving for greater emotional well-being, my goal is to provide a supportive and empowering space where you can explore your potential and create meaningful change.
Let’s work together to help you build the life you deserve—one step at a time.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
