As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I specialize in the treatment of anxiety using multiple approaches to recovery.

Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. Whether you are suffering from chronic emotional pain or looking for ways to increase your ability to thrive, I commend you for taking the first steps towards therapy. At its best, therapy can be a warm place to affirm and own your strengths, while also being a safe place to confront and change the unhealthy patterns we all develop. In my approach to therapy, I believe that symptom reduction is a necessary part of the process but understanding the root of our struggles is essential to lifelong change. Therapy can offer the opportunity do cultivate a deep sense of self-understanding, help us confront our normal human limitations, and be the catalyst for living into the lives we want to lead. My therapeutic approach has been shaped by serving diverse populations across multiple settings ranging from downtown urban centers, immigrant communities, and suburban healthcare clinics. From my time working in primary care medical settings, I embrace the notion that living a full and flourishing life not only means healing from past wounds but also taking preventative measures to build resilience and develop healthy rhythms of living. Reaching out to a therapist is daunting and demands a high degree of vulnerability to entrust your story to a new person. If you are looking for a collaborative process and someone to stick with you through the hard and long journey of self-discovery, I invite you schedule a free consultation to see if we may be a good fit.

Reaching out to a therapist can be a difficult step to take. I know the profound pain that can come when dealing with mental health challenges, including addiction...yours, or as a family member affected by another person's addictive behaviors. I understand how traumatic it feels to grow up with an addicted or emotionally immature parent, or how it feels to be in an unhealthy relationship. These experiences can lead to devastating feelings - shame, abandonment, depression, anxiety, isolation, anger, & much more. I invite you to share your feelings in a safe & nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood & heard. It is important to explore the past & how your attachment to your people has shaped your approach to life. I work with all types of trauma, including complex, relational & developmental trauma, sexual abuse, & traumatic grief. I integrate EMDR Therapy, Mindfulness, and other modalities, to assist you with healing your pain so you can live a fulfilling life. I would like to guide you toward uncovering your inner resources & collaborate with you on identifying thoughtful, solution-focused, strength based interventions. Through this work, I will help you make sense of the past and recognize unhealthy patterns so you can move toward creating a more balanced, inspired & soul-centered life for yourself, leading you to find your joy.

Depression. Anxiety. Relationship and career problems. These very real difficulties of living represent potent opportunities for growth and transformation. This is not always easy to see, however. A key step is developing insight, combined with a willingness to accept increasing levels of personal responsibility. As a therapist and coach, my orientation is holistic. I incorporate a whole-person approach that emphasizes physical, mental, emotional, and interpersonal factors. I view human experience as an inherently creative process, and work to empower clients to harness their innate potential to create meaningful and fulfilling lives through committed action based on personal values. I offer a diverse background in therapy, assessment, and coaching. I am most experienced in addressing clinical issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and parenting, as well as broader concerns of meaning, growth, and personal potential. I work with children, adults, and couples from a variety of backgrounds. I have practiced since 2004, and recently extended my expertise by completing a PhD in clinical psychology. I have a background in psychological research, and my work has been published in peer-reviewed scientifc journals. Clinically, I have been affiliated with the Rehabilitation Institute of Southern California, Straight Talk Inc., Summa Health System, and, most recently, the Cleveland VA Medical Center.

Welcome, depth seekers, those who desire a deeper understanding of yourselves and the unconscious forces that motivate your day-to-day lives. The challenging symptoms we often deal with on the surface can serve as an invitation to look deeper within, so we can make sense of why you are truly suffering and work through your challenges in an experiential way. This requires the courage to face who you are, and in that truth, you can open yourself up to choices about how to navigate these understandings. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, and I weave together psychoanalytic thinking with eastern spiritual teachings to help us make sense of you and your experiences.

Looking for a new therapist can be quite daunting and time consuming, can't it? I understand how important and crucial it is to find a suitable match. I pride myself on creating a safe, supportive, and open environment for my patients.

I work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, emotional disturbances, change of life transitions, chronic pain, relationship concerns, work burnout, personality disorders, intrainterpersonal issues, and general stressors. I utilize evidenced-based therapy including an inclusive and integrated humanistic model that tailors therapy specific to your needs.

My integrative approach blends evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) with mindfulness, insight-oriented exploration, and elements of existential psychotherapy. Together, we’ll discover new ways of thinking and acting that, over time, help you feel more grounded, lighter, and more intentional. I’m collaborative and experimental, and I’ll work with you to find the right mix of approaches that fits your personality and life circumstances. During our sessions, we’ll work together not only to develop concrete strategies to manage everyday stress, but also to zoom out from your daily problems and reflect on your core life goals and values.

I work with individuals and couples who are trying to make sense of complicated relationships, difficult life transitions, and patterns that keep repeating no matter how much insight they already have. A large part of my practice focuses on couples’ work, helping partners navigate conflict, rebuild trust after infidelity, improve intimacy, and break out of the same exhausting cycles that leave both people feeling misunderstood or disconnected. My approach is straightforward, collaborative, and tailored to the person(s) sitting in front of me. I draw from narrative therapy and solution-focused therapy, which means we look at the stories, patterns, and dynamics shaping your life while also focusing on practical, realistic changes. With couples, I often integrate emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help partners better understand emotional reactions, attachment patterns, protective behaviors, and the deeper needs underneath conflict. I have experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, grief, sexual trauma, sexual dysfunction, relationship conflicts, intimacy concerns, addiction, domestic violence, and complicated family dynamics. I also work with older adults navigating aging, caregiving stress, loss, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that can come with later stages of life. A lot of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and still stuck. Some feel overwhelmed, disconnected, ashamed, angry, lonely, or unsure how things got this far off track. Others are carrying experiences they’ve never fully talked about out loud. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest without feeling judged, overanalyzed, or pushed toward someone else’s agenda. I’m direct, engaged, and practical. I’m not going to sit quietly while you go in circles for 50 minutes. We’ll talk about what’s actually happening, what’s keeping you stuck, and what meaningful change could look like in real life, not just in theory.

From an ecological model, each person is a unique being existing within and influenced by multiple factors, including family, political time period, and culture.

I am a SEP (Somatic Experiencing Practitioner) and am trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems). My practice is a safe space for LGBTQ+ people and neurodiversity. I am nonbinary and Latinx, and I offer gender affirming care in both English and Spanish. I provide a secure and confidential space where you can share authentically and seek support. Usando un modelo ecológico, cada persona es un ser único que existe dentro de múltiples sistemas e influenciado por ellos, incluyendo la familia, el período de tiempo político y la cultura.

Mi práctica emplea modelos de atención somáticos, basados en la atención plena y basados en el trauma. Soy un proveedor de Experiencia Somática y entrnade en systemas familiares internal al primer nivel. Mi práctica es un espacio seguro para las personas LGBTQ +.
