Therapist

I work primarily with young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck — especially when it comes to anxiety and relationship challenges. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together on the outside, but internally feel lost or unsure of how to move forward.

I bring a calm, grounded presence to the work, even in high-stress situations. Much of my background is in working with clients in crisis, which allows me to help you navigate difficult emotions without things feeling out of control. At the same time, I’m warm, relatable, and honest — I’ll meet you where you are, while also gently challenging patterns that may be keeping you stuck when or if needed.

Therapist

Virtual • California


With more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I have had the privilege of helping people better understand themselves, heal from painful experiences, strengthen their relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives. Helping others is truly my passion.

As a Doctor of Behavioral Health and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, and recurring emotional or behavioral patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

I believe that greater self-awareness can be life-changing. My goal is bigger than helping you simply feel better—I want to help you understand yourself deeply, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your relationships, accomplish your personal goals, and create a life you are genuinely excited to live.

Guaranteed intake appointment available within 24-48 hours. A provider you can reach directly, by text. Personal responses to all messages within 24 - 48 hours, always. Evening and weekend hours available.

Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 14 years of experience. I work with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering.

Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.

(Please note that I am no longer taking on new therapy clients, I am only accepting new clients for medication management at this time.)

As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.

My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person; I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative, supportive, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.
