As a psychotherapist, I work collaboratively to support and empower individuals in the process of self-discovery, growth, and healing. My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, informed by my training, continuing education, and clinical experience.
My approach
The modalities and frameworks I provide are derived from, but not limited to: Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Metacognitive Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Brainspotting, Integral Somatic Psychology, Gestalt, Depth Psychology, Brief Psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic-Existential Psychology, and Transpersonal Psychology.
My focus
My specialties encompass anxiety, coping skills, depression, grief, life transitions, men's issues, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, existential issues, creative blocks, spirituality, stress, trauma, and PTSD.
My communication style
I engage in open, collaborative dialogue, seeking to create a safe space for sharing. Through active listening and thoughtful questions, I guide our exploration at a pace that feels right for you. My communication style is warm and non-judgmental, allowing us to build trust and rapport as we work together towards your goals and well-being.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Science (MS) degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne in La Verne, California. This education provided me with the foundation to pursue my passion for supporting others in their mental health journey.
My goals for you
My overarching goal is to provide you with a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we will work collaboratively to identify your strengths, explore your challenges, and develop effective coping strategies to navigate life's complexities. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other concern, my aim is to empower you to achieve greater self-awareness, resilience, and overall well-being. Through our therapeutic journey, my goal is to help you cultivate a deeper sense of fulfillment, meaning, and purpose in your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
