As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life experiences with compassion and expertise. My practice centers on helping clients explore personal growth, identity, and emotional well-being, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ experiences, life transitions, and individual empowerment.
I bring deep understanding to challenges related to self-esteem, stress management, career development, and interpersonal dynamics. My approach is affirming and tailored to each person's unique journey, with specialized experience supporting individuals exploring sexuality, gender identity, aging, and personal relationships.

I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their authentic selves, develop meaningful coping strategies, and cultivate self-love and purpose.
Through collaborative and person-centered counseling, I aim to support individuals in understanding themselves more deeply, building resilience, and creating fulfilling paths forward.

My therapist just gets it. I don’t have to over explain or feel like I’m not getting anywhere. Each session has been extremely helpful and thoughtful. It feels like a conversation instead of a task. I’m so grateful. A good therapist is so hard to find and I’m lucky to have found a great one!
