As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on helping clients work through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma-related experiences. I'm deeply committed to creating a compassionate, affirming therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their inner world and develop meaningful strategies for healing and personal growth.
My clinical expertise spans a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, panic attacks, attachment issues, and experiences of isolation or shame. I work collaboratively with clients to address challenging emotional patterns, build resilience, and support holistic well-being. My practice is grounded in understanding each person's unique journey, offering personalized support that honors individual experiences and strengths.
I approach therapy with genuine empathy, professional skill, and a deep respect for each client's path toward healing and self-discovery. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges, develop new perspectives, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
