I am most proud of my ability to develop trusting relationships with clients of all ages. My training in DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing has provided me with the tools to turn theory into effective practice. My clients consistently tell me that, without ever being judgmental, I empower them to change for the better and become more self-confident, always within a safe, nurturing environment.

With 20 year's experience, I have helped clients take a deeper, more insightful look at thought and behavioral patterns that hold them back from positive relationships, fulfilling careers, and a compassionate, worthy sense of self. Anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges are often the result of suppressing our authentic voice because of fear of rejection, abandonment, and self-loathing. We rediscover our genuine, original self by leaning into our fear of rejection, letting go of false beliefs about self and developing beliefs and new behaviors that are more empowering and in line with who we really are.

What you want is simple - a meaningful, authentic, and connected life. But you’re stuck somehow - in relationship patterns or difficulties, unsustainable roles or jobs, ways of relating to yourself or others that don’t serve you, cycles or behavior you’re not proud of.

I work with people experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unresolved trauma, relationship issues, social alienation, and loneliness. Whether or not you know exactly what’s getting in the way, we’ll start where you are and work together to understand and move through what’s holding you back.

Change is an inevitable part of life. When we experience life transitions, such as grief and loss, our place in the world can feel disorienting and uncertain. Each stage of life offers its own set of challenges, all of which can make our circumstances seem unpredictable, creating feelings of anxiety and depression. When we attempt to bypass these events without acknowledging them, these patterns may show up in our habits, thoughts, and relationships. Sorting through the content of these changes and the feelings that emerge can feel overwhelming if we attempt to engage this process on our own.

I became a therapist because I love seeing people make positive life change. I believe that if you put your mind to it and work hard, you have the power to create more of what you want in life, and less of what you don't. We all have challenges arise at times that seem daunting on our own. You may be struggling in relationships, having intrusive and recurring thoughts that you can't seem to shake, feeling like anxiety is directing your life instead of you, or you're at one of life's transition points and unsure of the next step. Sound familiar? I work with both individuals and couples to find solutions to these and other problems.

I began my clinical work with non-profit and community mental health organizations where I had the honor to work with some of the most underserved families and young adults in Los Angeles County.
