As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients manage challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship concerns. I bring a compassionate and culturally responsive approach to therapy, with a particular passion for working with young adults and individuals experiencing social anxiety, attachment difficulties, and self-esteem issues.
My therapeutic style is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and curiosity. I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner world, build emotional awareness, and foster lasting personal growth. Drawing from evidence-based modalities—including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based practices, and Attachment Theory—I help clients strengthen communication skills, overcome emotional isolation, and develop resilience.
Cultural humility is at the core of my work. I am dedicated to providing inclusive, affirming, and culturally sensitive care for individuals from all backgrounds. My goal is to ensure every client feels heard, respected, and empowered to embrace healing and self-discovery at their own pace.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
