Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a supportive and engaging space where you feel safe to be emotionally open, while also bringing a sense of ease.
At the core of my style is curiosity. I’m drawn to the “why” - why we feel, think, and respond to life the way we do. I take a holistic and at times existential approach, exploring not just immediate challenges, but the deeper patterns, life transitions, and questions of meaning that shape your experience.
I draw from a wide range of personal and professional experiences, including working directly with and overseeing a large and diverse group of clients. This allows me to adapt different techniques and perspectives to support growth, insight, and lasting change. Throughout the process, I remain thoughtful, engaged, and focused on what will be most helpful for you.
I specialize in supporting high-functioning adults navigating ADHD, burnout, addiction, and emotional overwhelm. My approach is direct, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand how your mind works—while building practical tools that create real, lasting change.
As a therapist and a woman of color, I know firsthand how heavy life’s obstacles can feel when you’re trying to move through the world and still chase your dreams. Maybe you feel disconnected from the people you love, stuck in self-doubt and second-guessing, or worn down by unexpected changes in your relationships. If any of that resonates, please know you don’t have to carry it all alone, and you’re in exactly the right place.
I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.
Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage & family Therapist, as well as a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor. I offer a safe place where individuals are able to begin their therapeutic healing journey. My desire is to be a vehicle to facilitate the healing process for individuals.
