I have vast experience with a wide variety of clients. My professional history includes children living in abusive environments, teenagers who are struggling to access their education due to mental health concerns, families navigating dysfunction and adults dealing with a variety of life difficulties.
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.
I work with individuals and families across the spectrum, as well as professionals navigating major life transitions. As a Psychology Professor and Senior Lecturer, I provide a high-level clinical space for those who feel "stuck" in their current narrative. Whether you are exploring your identity, navigating a career shift, or seeking LGBTQ+ affirming care, my ideal clients are those ready to build a life that feels authentic, sustainable, and truly yours.
I’m an LMFT from Guam, currently residing in Los Angeles, and I specialize in all things relationship(s)! Whether you’re navigating a romantic relationship, family dynamics, friendships, or your relationship with yourself, I’m interested in understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. My work is grounded in understanding how our past experiences shape the way we see ourselves, the world, and—most importantly—how we connect with others. Together, we can explore the patterns you’ve developed, where they came from, and whether they’re still serving you today.
I have a warm demeanor and am also able to challenge your beliefs or behaviors that are not serving you based on your needs and wants in life. I have been working in the mental health field for over 9 years and have worked in different levels of care such as inpatient psychiatric, outpatient clinics and individual therapy.
Hello, I am glad you are here. My goal is to offer a safe welcoming space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement. I believe everyone deserves to be heard with kindness, respect, and compassion. Together, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you as we work toward the life you want to create.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Los Angeles
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Los Angeles starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want support with, such as identity, relationships, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ clients in their profiles. These details can help you find someone with relevant experience, not just a general openness to LGBTQIA+ care.
Los Angeles has a large mental health care market, with therapists across neighborhoods like Hollywood, Silver Lake, Koreatown, Westwood, and Downtown LA. That range can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether in-person care fits your commute, transit access, and schedule, or whether virtual therapy gives you more options across the LA area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how clearly their bio describes work with LGBTQIA+ people, LGBTQIA+ couples therapy, gay couples therapy, or related concerns.
Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Los Angeles who are accepting new patients, compare bios, choose virtual or in-person appointments, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can review therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer a time that works for you.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
