Seeing a therapist is a big decision—one that can feel overwhelming, courageous, and deeply vulnerable all at once. When you begin sessions with me, my first priority is to create a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely supported. Therapy should feel like a place where you can slow down, take a breath, and be fully yourself without fear of judgment. You can expect to feel heard, validated, and valued. Your story matters, and I’m here to walk beside you through whatever season of life you’re navigating. Whether you are facing stress, grief, unresolved trauma, relationship challenges, or major transitions, my goal is to help you feel grounded, empowered, and understood.

I bring extensive experience working with adults who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, and substance abuse, and I also have a strong background supporting at-risk youth and individuals navigating long-term emotional wounds. My approach is compassionate yet direct. I honor your pace while also helping you challenge patterns, build new skills, and move toward meaningful change. I work with adults ages 18 and up, offering both individual and couples therapy through virtual sessions.

In my work, I take a structured and directive approach and incorporate CBT, DBT, and eclectic therapeutic methods. I provide a balance of accountability and support, helping clients increase insight and build practical tools that align with their goals. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, substance abuse and recovery, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, emotional regulation, life transitions, and supporting adults who are rebuilding after difficult life events.

I accept Kaiser, Optum, Medi-Cal, Aetna, IEHP, CalVCB, Employee and Family Resources EAP, Medicare, cash pay, and offer sliding scale options. Therapy is a brave step toward healing and growth, and I am grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you as you move toward a healthier and more grounded version of yourself.
