As a licensed therapist in California, I bring nearly three decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients navigate life's challenges with dignity, self-compassion, and resilience. I specialize in CBT and EMDR.
I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders, with a deep commitment to supporting individuals experiencing social isolation, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding, improve communication skills, and cultivate meaningful personal growth.
My practice honors the unique journey of each individual, with particular expertise in women's mental health and supporting older adults through transformative life stages. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and rediscover their inherent strength and purpose.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop practical coping strategies, process challenging emotions, and build sustainable paths toward healing and self-acceptance. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy and professional guidance.
