- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and women navigating complex life transitions. My decade of clinical experience centers on mood disorders, sexuality, and relationship dynamics.
I create an affirming, progressive therapeutic space that honors diverse identities and experiences. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I understand the nuanced challenges facing LGBTQ+ communities and young adults, and I'm committed to providing empathic, culturally responsive care.
My therapeutic work emphasizes personal empowerment, emotional resilience, and authentic self-discovery. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop meaningful insights, build healthy coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-understanding. Whether you're exploring identity, managing mood challenges, or seeking support through life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine respect and professional guidance.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
