Some of the common, everyday issues that I work with are loss, grief, stress, anxiety, worry, relationships (romantic, friendship, professional working, family).
I focus on dynamic therapy techniques of assisting individuals in self actualizing (striving for and reaching personal and professional goals) to the extent of their interests and abilities, not the expectations set by others. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, concerns related to weight and body image, and the life challenges that affect all of us on a regular basis. I also specialize in family separation and custody needs. You do not have to have a specific or serious diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Everyone can benefit from therapy and seeking therapy does not make a person sick.

As an intern, I was fortunate to work with diverse clients that continue to help me develop professionally such as preschool children with behavioral difficulties, high school students struggling with problems such as non-suicidal self harm (cutting), depression, grief/ loss, and trauma due to abuse/neglect, and victims of violent crimes through Cal/VCP.
It is helpful for all of us to develop the skills that enable us to step back from emotion-laden life events (both good and bad) in order to gain perspective and insight. This allows us to interact optimally with those in our lives who can significantly impact our well-being. Therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental environment that promotes self-exploration and the development of insight into our own behaviors as well as the behaviors of others. Identifying the potential "whys" behind our actions and reactions can be empowering in the context of personal change and development.

As a teen I worked with foster youth who shared their stories of abandonment, loneliness, and trauma. As a kid myself I didn't fully know how to support besides listening and comfort. I never wanted to feel that helpless when helping a fellow human being again so I became a therapist. Watching people heal and having the privilege of being a part of their journey has been my greatest joy as a therapist.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
