My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

Ok, honestly...marriage is really wonderful, but also really freaking hard. We all dream of the rainbows, butterflies, and happy endings. But maybe you're finding yourself in the not so wonderful part of your marriage where everything is painful and icky. If your relationship has been rocky for a little while now, just know that there is still hope. It's not the end of your story. The work to make things better is going to be gritty and hard and you'll probably want to call it quits from time to time. But (insert cliche about hard work here). Let's get to work.

I am a mental health therapist who is based in Orange County, CA. I received my B.A in psychology and social behavior at the University of California Irvine. My area of study there centered on psychological and neurological functions of a person and how this contributes to each person's unique life experiences. I went on to receive my M.A for social welfare from the University of California Los Angeles. I enjoy helping/working with individuals and couples who are motivated to take charge of their life and work on becoming a better version of themselves.

Life is constantly changing, and it isn't always easy to navigate change. Change can cause us to feel discomfort, sadness, anxiety, anger, loneliness and so much more. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist that enjoys working with all people to help process life events and challenges. How an individual perceives these changes/daily events and activities will determine one's self-esteem, self-worth and how one thinks and feels on a daily basis. Through therapy, one can expect to learn how to cope with change and often the unwanted thoughts and feelings that comes with it. Please email below to set up a free 15-minute consultation.

Every time you talk to your parent you feel invalidated. They’ve always been difficult to deal with, and no matter what you try, each interaction leaves you feeling helpless, overwhelmed, anxious, and angry. You get mad at yourself for getting all worked up. Why can’t you just get over it?! Let things go, everyone says. Yes, growing up with them was hard. You know they were not a perfect parent, and you don’t completely blame them - they grew up with abuse themselves. But, it still affects you? You have your own life, but still feel so hurt by everything that’s happened. You’re worried that it’s causing other problems too.

Are you letting your emotions rule your life? Do you make decisions based on how you feel rather than what is best for you? If you answered YES then Cognitive Therapy can help you change your thinking and create the life you are seeking. Whether you are struggling with depression, panic attacks or going through life transitions, I can help you learn necessary skills to make your life a journey rather than a struggle. I feel priviledged having the opportunity to work with individuals, teach them CBT and see them transform right in front of me.
