You might be seeking therapy at a time when you feel stuck, unsure or overwhelmed. My goal is to help you understand the root of your struggles, to build insight into those struggles and make lasting change. We will accomplish this through collaborative goal planning, using realistic interventions as well as humor to liven up the "therapy room" to keep things feelings authentic and genuine. My style in session tends to be compassionate, collaborative and direct. I am here to both validate and gently challenge you. I believe that each person deserves to live a more balanced, flourishing and full life and that healing is possible!
Aligning with My Passion: After completing my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, I worked hard towards becoming the type of therapist I wished I had. Throughout my career, I recognized that my field needed more relatable and authentic therapists.

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.
