I work with a range of clients including adults, teens, and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships/friendships, family concerns (divorce, health issues), self-esteem, identity/career exploration, grief/loss, and non-suicidal self-harm/suicidal ideation.

As a therapist, I believe my role is to support, listen, and build a relationship of trust in a nonjudgmental space so we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to make positive, meaningful changes in your life.  I am passionate about offering a space where clients feel safe and develop healthy skills and the confidence necessary to heal, grow, and move forward.  I would describe my personality as warm and gentle, but also incorporate humor in sessions and challenge clients when they become stuck in negative thinking patterns.  

I like to use a client-centered approach, which allows clients to take an active role in their treatment progress.  Every person that comes into therapy is unique with their own set of goals to accomplish by the end; therefore, techniques used in sessions vary depending on each client's needs.  Modalities utilized in sessions include: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life.  Contact me today so we can work together to find the happiness and peace you deserve.  I currently provide in-person sessions in Hermosa Beach and virtual sessions throughout California.
