- LMFT
I’m a licensed mental health professional in California with 19 years of experience supporting individuals on their path to healing. Much of my work has focused on helping people navigate the challenges of addiction, as well as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
Addiction and other mental health challenges can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I believe you are the expert of your own story, and I see the strength it takes to even begin considering change. My goal is to walk beside you with compassion and respect, helping you rediscover hope, build resilience, and create meaningful progress—one step at a time.
Taking that first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life is an act of courage. I’m here to support and empower you as you move forward in your journey.

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.
