| español Young people face unique hardships as they navigate the complexities of growing up in today's world. With a rich background at multiple community mental health clinics and some of California's most renowned children's hospitals, I'm well-versed in therapy services designed to help youth build strong emotional foundations and develop the insight they need to thrive. My clients tend to be young adults troubled by relationship difficulties, social pressures, academic/career responsibilities, and tumultuous life transitions. Many have the basic skills for managing life's challenges, but continue to feel "stuck" or unfulfilled.
If this resonates, you've likely exhausted your surface-level coping tools and are interested in understanding the "why" behind your actions to create lasting change from within. In our therapy sessions, I provide a safe and containing environment that makes confronting the hard questions a meaningful experience.
My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the belief that therapy is not just for those in crisis; it's a valuable tool for personal growth and self-improvement. Using psychodynamic and relational frameworks, I aim to help you grapple with the overwhelming stress of being a human in today's world. I'm happy you're here and I look forward to connecting.
