As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My practice centers on creating affirming, compassionate spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and those experiencing grief or significant life changes.
My approach is deeply rooted in understanding each person's unique journey. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients explore their experiences, build resilience, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being. With a commitment to cultural responsiveness, I strive to honor diverse identities and lived experiences.
Through collaborative and empathetic counseling, I support clients in developing stronger self-understanding, healthier relationship patterns, and more effective coping mechanisms. Whether you're working through family dynamics, processing grief, or exploring personal identity, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine care and professional expertise.

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.
