We’ll start wherever you are.
I believe therapy is about creating a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and explore what’s really going on.
My approach is relational and collaborative, which means I’m interested in getting to know you as a whole person—your experiences, relationships, and the things that have shaped how you move through the world.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working with leaders and teams through change. That experience shaped my understanding of how closely our work, relationships, and sense of self can be connected.
I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Saint Mary’s College of California, with training in behavioral, relational, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approaches.
More than anything, I want therapy to feel like a place where you can slow down, get curious, and figure things out together.
My Approach
My work is primarily informed by person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I also draw from attachment-based, existential, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Relational-Cultural Therapy (RCT), as well as the Gottman Method when working with couples.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor our work to you, your experiences, and your goals. We may explore patterns in your relationships, make space for difficult emotions, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and consider what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, stronger relationships, and meaningful change.
At this point, you might be thinking “How Do I Know If I’m Ready for Therapy?”
You’re feeling stuck.
You keep finding yourself in the same patterns, thoughts, or relationship dynamics and aren’t sure how to shift them.
You’re going through a transition.
Something has changed — or is changing — and you want space to process it and figure out what comes next.
You’re carrying a lot.
Stress, expectations, work, relationships, or responsibilities may be piling up, and you’re finding it harder to hold everything on your own.
You want to understand yourself better.
You’re curious about why you feel, react, or relate to others the way you do, and want to develop a deeper sense of self-understanding.
Something in your relationships isn’t working.
You may be experiencing conflict, disconnection, or recurring patterns with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague.
You don’t need to know exactly why.
You don’t have to be in crisis or have a clear goal for therapy. If you’re wondering whether support could be helpful, that curiosity may be enough to start.
Let’s explore working together!
You don’t have to work through this on your own. I am here to support you!
