My mission is to guide individuals through the complexities of trauma, depression, and anxiety, fostering awareness, creativity, and multicultural appreciation in a safe environment.

I take a supportive approach in my practice, emphasizing respect and collaboration.

Hello, Nice to Meet you! - I bring a gentle and supportive perspective from time spent in several different settings within the mental-health field. I value every person’s journey as unique and know that trust is something that is earned in the therapeutic relationship.

My practice is focused on partnering with adults and elders to navigate and process the often inevitable trauma they encounter. I aim to cultivate a therapeutic environment that can hold both the most painful parts of life, and the most lovely...some levity here and there can’t hurt either. I have nothing but admiration for those who decide to come to therapy. This process can be unbearably hard, and even still, every day I witness powerful expansion in people as a result of the process.

I completed my Master's of Social Work at the University of Southern California, specializing in mental health.

In our therapeutic journey together, I aim to provide a welcoming and secure environment for your healing and personal growth.

My counseling approach is rooted in Rogerian theory, which serves as the foundation for building effective treatment options. I've received training in multiple therapeutic approaches and find great joy connecting with new people. Personally and professionally, I prioritize relationships, believing that trust is paramount.

As a counselor, my goal is to deeply understand my clients and collaborate with them to foster awareness, confidence, and resilience.

Embarking on a journey of self-improvement can feel daunting and overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals overcome trauma and life's challenges by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. My therapy approach is Strength-Based, focused on building resilience and empowering you to face difficulties head-on.

With over 35 years of experience in mental health, I've journeyed from assisting hospitalized individuals with mental illness to providing psychotherapy for hundreds of clients.

I am dedicated to fostering a warm and nurturing relationship with my clients while shedding light along their path. The therapeutic process begins by inviting you into an environment that is safe to be vulnerable and welcoming, so that you may process where you find yourself in life, and where you wish to be.

I believe that therapy should be a journey of healing and self-discovery.
