Great to meet you!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, so taking this step already says a lot about your willingness to grow. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and patterns that can feel hard to break. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same cycles or unsure why certain things keep coming up, you’re not alone — and that’s exactly the kind of work we can explore together.
Most of my clients describe me as nonjudgmental and deeply empathic. I create a warm welcoming space for you to become you. Sometimes that's all some people need to heal.
I'm a LCSW providing telehealth out of Southern California. Growing up in Long Beach, I'm accustom to a variety of populations and personally have experience working in Addiction Medicine, with Child Welfare Services, and as an ally for my LGBTQ+ clients. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation — not a clinical transaction. I show up as a genuine, engaged partner in your process, not a blank slate behind a notepad. I'm in your corner, and I want you to feel that from the first session. My style blends warmth with honesty (think supportive but direct). Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My goal is to provide high quality client-centered care, utilizing a humanistic approach. I am focused on validating my client's life experiences and providing a safe and non-judgmental space to share. I also believe in holistic point of view and integrative care of body, mind, and spirit.
My clinical experience includes working with children, teens, and adults with many issues including: grief, work-related stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism).
With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.
There's a point where you've already tried to think your way through it. You've read things, talked to people, maybe even tried therapy before. And what you're carrying is still there, just underneath everything.
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and the stretches where life stops making sense for a while. I also work with couples, specifically the moments where things break down and the longer work of finding your way back to each other. My background is unusual for a therapist: before this field I spent years as an English professor and academic dean, and I came into this work through music and filmmaking. That path still shapes how I practice. I especially enjoy working with artists, musicians, and anyone whose creative life and mental health are tangled up together.
With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about guiding individuals on their journey to balance, mindfulness and joy. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations and addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. This journey has reinforced my belief that each person's path to well-being is unique and deserves a personalized approach.
Are you feeling dissatisfied in your daily life? Things are okay, but something doesn’t feel quite right. You’re employed, maybe in a relationship, and can socialize with friends, but you wonder if you’re truly happy. I would love to speak with you to see if therapy with me can help you better understand yourself and improve your life.
I am a dedicated therapist specializing in emerging adults (ages 18–25), adults in their 20s and 30s, and career, passion, and purpose. I love what I do and am here to serve.
My passion is helping adolescents and adults realize healthy perceptions of themselves while developing resilient habits and lasting coping strategies.
I am a SF native with over 20 years as a clinician and director of multiple community based organizations and tech startups. Additionally, I am an avid Bay Area sports fan, professional photographer, aspiring globe trotter, and unabashed performer of dad jokes.
