Deciding you need therapy can be a tough process. I believe the counseling relationship should be one where you and I form real connection- and that connection is where the foundation of healing can begin. I aim to create a supportive space to partner with clients in their healing process. I am rostered in a variety of evidence-based trauma and grief treatments for youth and adults, and I love to include mindfulness, self-compassion, and humor into treatment. My training in attachment work and years collaborating with foster/adoptive families help me support folks in a variety of constellations.

I value my clients, the relationship we share, and the challenging work we do together.
I enjoy working collaboratively with adult clients to improve interpersonal relationships, identify strengths, and move toward a sense of wholeness. I am passionate about working with clients who are experiencing grief and loss, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship issues and have a history of trauma. I adopt an anti-racist and LGBTQ affirming approach and recognize the ways in which ones identity development is impacted by systemic oppression.

I am a queer, Black, fully-licensed therapist (LCSW) with over 10 years of clinical experience. I’ve worked with individuals as they face a terminal diagnosis; with patients who have experienced losses in their relationships and livelihood due to mental illness or a chronic condition; with couples as they navigate role shifts, parenting, and caregiving of elder family members; with clients whose life experience of social marginalization have led to depression; and with those presenting to their primary care doctor for stomach pain and heart palpitations, only to learn that anxiety is the root cause.

I have 10+ years experience providing individual, relationship, and group counseling.
Everyone could benefit from talking with a counselor to help cope with life's stressors. You may prefer to meet with a counselor one-on-one to help improve your quality of life. If your intimate relationship is a concern, you and your partner(s) could utilize relationship counseling to communicate more effectively and regain the passion that drew you together. Building a support network and feeling as if you belong are also valuable resources that group counseling can provide. Regardless of your concern, there are multiple counseling options to help meet your needs. Initiating counseling services is the first step to feeling better.

The therapeutic relationship, dreams, and exploration of hopes, fears, and desires is the basis for learning about the often silent but powerful conflicts and tensions that block fulfillment in relationships to oneself and others.
All people seek relief from anxieties, depression, and other disturbing mental states. It is part of the human condition to wish to do away with distressing thoughts, feelings, and behavior that sometimes seem to dominate us rather than be active choices. Through the experience of the therapeutic and other current relationships, one may become aware of old yet alive and active ways of being and relating. The uncovering of these in the "here and now" together promotes awareness and integration. Everyone deserves a chance to live less burdened and with greater access to their inner resources.

As a trauma specialist, I utilize person-centered, narrative and expressive art therapies to support trauma survivors of all kinds, with an emphasis on people who have been impacted by sexual assault, intimate partner violence and hate-motivated violence.
During times of struggle, you have an absolute right to support from an attentive, warm, trustworthy witness - someone who believes in your strength and brilliance when you can no longer see it, and who stands by your side as you emerge as the architect of your own healing. My work and my passion is to be that witness. I entered into the field of mental health to uplift the experiences of those who often struggle to find responsive and attuned care. As a queer, biracial, Latine therapist and advocate, I am wholly dedicated to opening a space with you through which you can experience repair, discovery, growth and transformation.

I specialize in providing evidence-based therapeutic modalities to individuals, couples, dyads and families who seek support around mood-related issues (anxiety, depression), trauma, relational challenges, emotional regulation and adaptation to life events and life transitions.
My passion centers on the ways in which early relationships, life experiences and cultural contexts shape our worldviews and impact our choices, coping and performance. I also focus on the interplay between the mind and the physical body, and the ways we can use this connection to increase well-being and overall functioning. Over the past 15 years I have worked in various academic medical institutions and hospitals (UCLA, CHLA), using research-based interventions to guide individuals (children, youth and adults), couples and families in working towards agency, personal growth, positive change, insight, and adaptation to life events.

Clients come seeking deeper insights and growth. I also offer customized intensives, ketamine assisted psychotherapy and psychedelic preparation/integration, and end of life support to individuals and families.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
