Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, I'm so glad you're here.

For the past 13 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've had the privilege of walking alongside adults who feel unsure of themselves—those who wake up with anxiety, struggle through depression, or find themselves questioning their worth and direction. These feelings of uncertainty can be isolating, but they also represent the beginning of important self-discovery. Recently, I completed my PsyD, which has enriched my ability to help clients understand the underlying root causes of their patterns and behaviors. My goal through therapy is to help you discover your inner strengths to overcome life's challenges and promote personal growth.
