It's difficult to find someone who gets you. I get it, I've been a client looking for a therapist. When talk therapy hasn't worked how you'd hoped, that's when you can consider a therapy like Somatic, EMDR, or ERP. I can help you with any of these issues. I am a highly effective therapist that also has out of network options for intensives. If you are using insurance and have CPTSD, PTSD, or OCD, we can only meet in the 1 hr format. I have extensive EMDR experience.
I have my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and BA from Concordia University, Irvine. I am a later career change and have extensive experience in the creative and tech industries.
I often work with women in Perimenopause to menopause, but have worked with men as well. The attributes of clients who find me are usually ready to change and have tried everything. I find they find the right therapist, at the right time, with the right type of therapy and it changes their lives. You can see more in my google reviews.
I know pretty quickly if we are a match and I won't waste your time, I know the people I can help, and if you want that kind of care, and hate traditional talk therapy, I am your therapist. Reach out to see if we are a match.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-C) providing compassionate, evidence-based care through telehealth. My background includes experience in emergency care and mental health treatment. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, and mood disorders. I take a collaborative and supportive approach and work closely with clients to develop personalized treatment plans focused on improving emotional well-being.
I received my master's degree from the University of Southern California in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health.
I began my career serving diverse communities across Los Angeles County, working in community mental health centers, at the Department of Mental Health, and in specialized treatment programs.
Through these roles, I gained extensive experience in trauma recovery, substance use treatment, crisis intervention, and supporting individuals facing life’s most complex challenges.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in providing individual therapy for adults (18+).
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a specialty in maternal mental health — supporting people through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the emotional transitions that come with becoming a parent. My background in home health, hospice, and hospital-based care has given me a deep appreciation for the whole person, not just the presenting concern. I see clients virtually in the evenings, so getting support that actually fits your life is something I take seriously.
