- Psychologist
As a licensed therapist with extensive experience in California, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on helping clients navigate stress, depression, life changes, and interpersonal dynamics.
I bring decades of professional expertise in addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns, including social anxiety, trauma recovery, relationship difficulties, and personal growth. My therapeutic style emphasizes self-compassion, effective communication, and empowering clients to discover their inner strength and resilience.
My practice centers on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with expertise and genuine care.

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.
