About me

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, improve communication skills, and overcome challenges related to social anxiety, isolation, and personal growth.

With a deep understanding of depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma, I create a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic environment. I'm committed to empowering clients to build resilience, enhance self-esteem, and develop effective coping strategies.

My therapeutic work focuses on understanding each person's unique experiences and strengths. I believe in a holistic approach that honors individual journeys, helping clients reconnect with themselves and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships with others and themselves.

Through evidence-based practices, I support clients in transforming challenging emotional patterns, cultivating self-love, and creating meaningful personal change. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where healing and personal growth can flourish.
