As a licensed therapist in California with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on compassionate, evidence-based care for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma recovery, and self-esteem concerns.
I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I'm committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for growth. My therapeutic style is collaborative, empowering clients to discover their inner strengths and resilience.
Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I offer nuanced, tailored support that honors each individual's unique background and emotional needs. Whether you're experiencing life transitions, processing past experiences, or seeking to enhance your emotional well-being, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with genuine understanding 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.
