I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #132566 practicing both in-person therapy in Los Angeles and virtual therapy across the great state of California.

I believe people already carry an innate capacity for healing, growth, and change. Sometimes that connection to ourselves can become harder to access when life feels overwhelming, painful, or disconnected, especially due to systemic issues that are mostly out of our control. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel grounded, and reconnect with your inner clarity at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and values-based, with roots in liberation psychology. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health specialist (PMH-C) and feel the most passionate about guiding new moms and parents through the most transformative time in their lives. In terms of therapeutic approaches, I utilize and am experienced and/or trained in ERP, ACT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. I am also well-versed in Internal Family Systems (IFS), person-centered, and humanistic therapy.

Together, we explore not only thoughts and behaviors, but also emotions, relationships, systemic stressors, and the ways your lived experiences have shaped how you move through the world. I strive to create a compassionate, steady space where you can feel supported and more connected to yourself.

I have almost 10 years of experience doing therapy with individuals from many types of cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic statuses, and I’ve supported children, adolescents, and adults, including older adults. I’ve even done non-therapy roles such as case management for a health insurance plan (!). Currently, as a full-time private practice therapist, my focus is offering my community a space that is as compassionate and welcoming as possible.

Throughout my life, I have learned there is no pressure to figure it all out, even in therapy. What you’ve lived through doesn’t define you, and it deserves care, time, and understanding. I’m here to walk alongside you as you make sense of your story and build the self-trust that can carry you well beyond our sessions. My own life has included both wonderful and difficult seasons, and those experiences shape how I show up for my clients. I would be honored to support you through this chapter of your life.

“When we liberate ourselves from the expectation that we must have all things figured out, we enter a sanctuary of empathy.”
