- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in California with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients develop resilience, self-understanding, and healthy coping strategies across a wide range of personal experiences.
I bring deep expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My approach is compassionate and tailored to help individuals struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and communication challenges. I'm particularly committed to supporting individuals going through significant life stages, such as: pregnancy, marriage dynamics , parent-child challenges, separation/divorce, workplace transitions, and relationship issues.
My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore their inner landscape, confront challenging emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for personal empowerment and growth. Whether you're struggling with life changes, relationship difficulties, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance to live a more rewarding and fulfilling life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
