As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and women navigating complex life transitions. My decade of clinical experience centers on mood disorders, sexuality, and relationship dynamics.
I create an affirming, progressive therapeutic space that honors diverse identities and experiences. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I understand the nuanced challenges facing LGBTQ+ communities and young adults, and I'm committed to providing empathic, culturally responsive care.
My therapeutic work emphasizes personal empowerment, emotional resilience, and authentic self-discovery. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients develop meaningful insights, build healthy coping strategies, and cultivate greater self-understanding. Whether you're exploring identity, managing mood challenges, or seeking support through life transitions, I'm here to walk alongside you with genuine respect and professional guidance.

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.
