I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California in 2016, and since then, I’ve dedicated my practice to supporting those dealing with Complex PTSD, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety. I integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Compassion-Focused CBT, Grief and Loss Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Yoga & Meditation Therapy. I strive to understand your values, beliefs, and any cultural/religious/spiritual practices that align with your therapy goals. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions and empowered to heal at their own pace.
My Clients
I was drawn to the helping profession through a deep desire to support children facing difficult medical challenges. However, my path soon led me into the field of mental health, where I now work closely with individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I am passionate about helping people navigate mental health struggles, trauma, and life's many stressors, and I find profound fulfillment in witnessing my clients' healing, renewed sense of self, and personal victories.
