As a licensed therapist in California with over 25 years of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional experiences. My approach is deeply compassionate and culturally informed, with a particular focus on addressing challenges like depression, trauma, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
I bring expertise in helping clients navigate diverse life experiences, including workplace stress, family conflicts, trauma recovery, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style centers on creating a supportive, affirming environment where individuals can develop self-understanding, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.
My practice honors the unique journey of each person, drawing from evidence-based approaches to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, DBT, humanistic, psychodynamic, solution-focused and rational-emotive therapy. We will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, seeking to improve communication, or working through life transitions, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.
