I believe therapy is a conversation about where you want to go and what stands in your way. Each individual is seen through their potential, not their problems. I am a compassionate listener and a dedicated companion along your path to healing. It's important to create a space where we can confront all obstacles and explore all possibilities together.

Therapist

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.

Therapist

I believe that understanding yourself is the first step toward creating meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism, and the unique challenges that can come with neurodivergence.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. As a woman diagnosed with ADHD at age 30, I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to navigate life with an ADHD brain—especially when your experiences weren’t recognized or understood earlier in life. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women and adults who are newly diagnosed and are beginning to make sense of themselves through a new lens. I also understand the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children while navigating your own neurodivergence.

I have extensive experience helping clients develop practical executive functioning skills, behavioral strategies, and systems to improve organization, time management, follow-through, and daily functioning. My goal is not to make you fit into a system that wasn’t designed for you, but to help you build strategies that work with the way your brain works.

Therapy is a journey of personal growth and healing. It takes courage and can be challenging, but you don’t have to embark alone. My hope is that, as your therapist, I can be the holder of hope and a source of support. After obtaining my Master's in Counseling degree in 2015, I have had a wide range of experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families as they work through a wide range of issues including traumatic experiences, grief, depression, and anxiety.
