Find a therapist in California — covered by insurance

If you're a woman feeling stretched thin by the relationships in your life — a partner, your family, the demands of parenting — you don't have to sort through it alone. I help women navigate relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and the harder seasons of life: losing someone you love, adjusting to a health condition, or facing a change you didn't choose. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, and my goal in every session is simple: you leave feeling heard, understood, and a little more capable than when you arrived.

My goal in therapy is a simple one, and that is to help people get exactly where they want to go in life. Sometimes that means working through past traumas or current stressors. It can also mean focusing on general life optimization. Whatever your goals, I strive to create a non-judgmental environment for us to dig deep and make forward progress together.

I specialize in helping clients navigating trauma, anxiety, panic disorder, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, grief, & much more. I earned my MSW from New York University in 2011 and have worked as a forensic social worker in NYC at The Legal Aid Society & have also worked with Gay Men's Health Crisis, Services for the Underserved, Footsteps & Office of the Appellate Defender. I moved to Los Angeles in 2017 and have been in private practice since 2018.

MA in Educational & Counseling Psychology,

39 years of direct experience working with individual Adults & Couples

Contemplative & Meaning based Approach MBCT

I provide thoughtful, individualized therapy for adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, or the general challenges of life. While I work with a wide range of adults, I specialize in young adults, men, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Whether you're facing one clear hurdle or managing a complex mix of stressors, I partner with you to turn toward building lasting growth.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

I am an LCSW working with adults in California. I have a background in medical social work and working with dual-diagnosis patients and caregivers. My belief that healing happens through compassionate understanding and practical skill-building sets our work apart.
