Growing up, I have always been genuinely interested in listening to people's unique stories and in helping people deepen their connections with both themselves and with others. I provide culturally responsive psychotherapy, I hold space for my clients with empathy, and essentially I assist in bringing the unconscious into consciousness where healing and growth take place. At the core of my work as a psychotherapist is the desire to help people explore the parts of themselves that long for change, connection, and internal peace.

Though I may pull from a variety of modalities, my psychotherapy approach is depth-oriented (Psychodynamic/Inner Child), trauma-informed, attachment-based, and humanistic (Person-Centered/Gestalt). Additionally, I am trained in advanced Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, perinatal mental health, and Humanistic Sandtray Therapy (HST); and I am a Bringing Baby Home Educator, adjunct professor at The Chicago School in Southern California, and the author of the children's book, "With You."

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADULTS (TELEHEALTH ONLY)

I help adults move from anxiety and self-doubt to confidence and self-compassion, and ultimately aid in building a strong sense of self. The common challenges I work with are anxiety, depression, trauma (intergenerational/relationship/complex trauma), life transitions, grief and loss, relational issues, perfectionism, people-pleasing behavior, imposter syndrome, and multicultural issues. 

Couples Therapy (telehealth only)

I help couples move from anger and anxiety to trust and intimacy by assisting them in recognizing the negative cycle that keeps them in a bind and in exploring new ways to repair and connect. I specifically work with couples who both want to improve their relationship and are open to gaining new perspectives. The common challenges I work with are communication, cultural differences, difficulty with life transitions (e.g., adjusting to married life, becoming parents, role changes), and navigating grief and loss. The No Secrets Policy applies to couples therapy. For couples who experience high conflict, it would be best to work with a therapist who offers in-person couples therapy.
