I’m someone who truly listens and strives to meet each person exactly where they are. My style is adaptive, reflective, and flexible. I bring authenticity, compassion, and a good sense of humor into my work because I believe that laughter and honesty can be just as healing as insight. I was inspired to become a therapist by my own desire for the kind of support I would have wanted, and I aim to offer that same understanding and care to my clients. People often describe me as warm, genuine, and empowering. I am someone who helps them feel deeply heard and supported while encouraging growth in meaningful ways.

I’m a therapist with 29 years of experience. I believe therapy can make a real difference when clients commit to the process. It isn’t easy, but I’ve seen it help people face challenges, heal, and grow into their best selves. If you're struggling with coping, outlook, motivation, attitude, and focus, we may be a good fit. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment to major life changes related to career, relationships, family, or loss. I also specialize in working with clients diagnosed with chronic or life-limiting illnesses. I look forward to working with you and walking beside you on this journey.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting individuals as they work through challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based, focusing on helping you recognize your existing strengths while developing practical tools to manage life's difficulties. Together, we will work to increase self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and create a path forward that aligns with your values, goals, and overall well-being. My goal is to empower you to navigate challenges with greater confidence and build a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and authentic.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I believe that true growth begins when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and practical — I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

My clinical style integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Trauma-Informed Care. I also draw from strengths-based and person-centered frameworks to help clients reconnect with their resilience and inner resources. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or past trauma, we’ll work together to develop strategies that feel authentic and sustainable for you.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos and have worked in diverse settings, including community mental health, healthcare, and private practice. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’m deeply committed to fostering inclusivity, respect, and cultural humility in my work.

Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and attentive. My goal is to help you feel empowered, supported, and capable of meaningful growth — not only in therapy, but in all areas of your life.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

I currently work, primarily, in corrections with inmates struggling to adjust to the custody environment. I offer crisis intervention in addition to ongoing support.

I approach the therapeutic space with compassion and openness. I meet my clients right where they are emotionally and in their healing journey.
