Approach to therapy
I believe therapy is most effective when the therapist and client work collaboratively. I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, inclusive, and trauma informed space where you can explore and sit with the challenges you are facing. My work focuses on fostering connection—whether that is with your own body’s experience, your relationships, your values, or your sense of self.
I also recognize that therapy does not exist in a vacuum. Conversations about how systemic structures impact mental health are woven into our work and inform the lens I bring into the therapeutic space.
Areas of Focus:
Grief
OCD
Life Transitions/ Identity Exploration
Couples Work
Intergenerational Trauma
About me
Hello!
I am a first-generation Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I began my professional journey with a deep interest in narratives and what makes us human. This curiosity, paired with a strong desire to support people in navigating difficult times, continues to guide my clinical work.
I am particularly passionate in working with clients with OCD and am trained in ERP therapy, individuals going through loss, and couples looking to gain increased connection.
My practice is fully virtual (with the occasional cameo from my pup, Cleo), and I offer a variety of appointment times to make care as accessible as possible.
