I work to help bring out the best version of yourself once we develop a trusting relationship. I have been facilitating growth and healing for over a decade with my individual clients, couples and families. In my prior career I was a director of Marketing Analytics and experienced the challenges of balancing career and family and now I often help those navigating similar challenges. I look forward to meeting with you.
I provide online therapy for individuals facing life transitions, relationship struggles, grief, stress, and the challenges that naturally arise throughout life. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and down-to-earth, helping clients better understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change in a space where they feel safe, heard, and respected.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and bring more than 40 years of experience working with teens, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings, including psychiatric care, acute care hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health, skilled nursing facilities and private clinical practice. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people develop through life’s hardships, as well as the important role grief, loss, anger, and healing can play in personal growth.
I work best with clients who are ready to be honest with themselves, open to vulnerability, and motivated to make lasting changes in their lives.

As a mixed-race, Queer therapist, I support other LGBTQ folks, providing a safe space to simply be. I believe our varying identities impact the way the world interacts with us, and how our mental health symptoms present.

I'm passionate about supporting as many people as possible and believe that accessible, virtual therapy is a powerful way to help people get the care they need.
I believe that in order for therapy to be effective, the client has to participate in the process. I am not a magician. I don't have a magic wand. Changing old behaviors and patterns can be difficult and painful but i am willing to be there to support you on your journey to better health.
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD in adolescents and adults.

My approach combines evidence-based medication management, psychotherapy, and practical lifestyle interventions to help patients achieve meaningful and lasting improvement.
You deserve more than just getting through the day. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from yourself, or caught in the same painful patterns no matter how hard you try to change them, you're not alone. You may have learned to survive, but now you're ready to truly heal.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's difficult transitions by creating a space where you can finally exhale and show up exactly as you are. Together, we'll help you reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and build a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and authentic. Even through video sessions, our work will feel warm, engaging, and deeply collaborative, supporting healing in your mind, body, and spirit.

I believe people carry far more strength, clarity, and resilience than they often realize. My role is to help you understand the emotional patterns and internal narratives that shape your experience, so you can move through life with greater freedom and self‐trust. I’m engaged, attuned, and honest in the room — offering reflection, insight, and steady collaboration as we explore what’s happening beneath the surface. We work at a pace that feels grounded for you, creating space for real change to germinate.
Throughout my three decades as a therapist, I have discovered that one of the most important skills I have developed is the ability to listen deeply. Along the way, I have gained a broad range of therapeutic tools and approaches, but I have learned that meaningful change begins when people feel truly heard. My mentors are the horse whisperers. I believe they listen with their whole body. They trust the intuitive nature of their horse. I like to think that I use some of this as I work with each client, trusting their intuitive nature. Together we are learning what is present in the room, gaining new insights and feeling more empowered.
