Therapist

I earned my master's in social work from California State University, Bakersfield, and I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain that relationship or family conflict can put on daily life. Many of the people I work with are stuck in loops of overthinking, self-criticism, or reactive anger — I help you name what's actually driving that pattern so it stops running the show.
