I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis.

We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9 mi away • Cerritos, CA


It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.
