Hello! I am an Attachment based therapist and I find it an honor to be on the journey to self discovery with my clients. Walking along side someone (figuratively) while they create a better understanding to their self and how to live this thing we call life is what motivates and drives me.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (2023) with nearly 30 years of experience in the field of social work. I have extensive experience supporting adults, older adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, caregiver stress, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence‐based care. I focus on helping clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and comfortable.

My background spans behavioral health, medical social work, hospice, and community‐based services. I have worked in hospitals, group homes, county systems of care, and multidisciplinary teams. This broad experience allows me to understand the emotional, social, medical, and environmental factors that shape a person’s well‐being — and to tailor treatment to the whole person.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) with extensive experience working in residential treatment, sober living, and private practice settings since 2010. My career began as an intern in an eating disorder residential program, later expanding into adolescent dual-diagnosis treatment. Alongside completing my doctorate in clinical psychology, I launched my private practice, where I continue to work with clients through Telehealth. Currently, I also work in a sober living facility, supporting adults facing addiction and co-occurring mental health challenges.

Therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and able to show up as your full self. I believe there is so much value in becoming curious about who we are - our experiences, our relationships, the patterns we’ve developed, and the parts of ourselves we may still be discovering.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I support individuals navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship and attachment concerns, self-esteem, and self-confidence. I also love working with people who are asking deeper questions about themselves: Who am I outside of what has been expected of me? What do I actually want? What patterns am I ready to let go of? What might it look like to live more authentically?

I bring a trauma-informed, relational, and multicultural lens to this work. Your culture, identities, relationships, communities, and lived experiences are meaningful parts of your story, and I believe they deserve space in the therapy room. There is no single definition of healing or growth. Together, we can explore what those things mean for you.
