In our journey together, I will be your steadfast supporter, encouraging you to cultivate self-compassion—an essential tool for navigating life’s diverse challenges. With over 13 years of experience and advanced training alongside esteemed colleagues at UCLA Health, I have developed a profound understanding of both the science and art of psychology. This unique combination enables me to offer holistic and effective treatments for a wide range of mental health concerns. I treat children, teens and adults and with each, offer a tailored experience to suit individual needs.
My approach to therapy is very personalized because I believe that no two paths to healing are the same. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or seeking greater fulfillment in life, I provide a safe, confidential space where you can explore thoughts and emotions. I utilize evidence-based methods such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT.
Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, and you don’t have to face them alone. I’m here to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can work through your difficulties together. My commitment to you includes sharing my knowledge, training, and genuine understanding, while also bringing compassion, kindness, and vulnerability into our work.
