About

I’m glad you’re here; starting therapy is a brave first step. If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, self-doubt, identity questions, or your daily life, you’re not alone. I’m a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I work with young adults through mid-life navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions of identity and purpose. I hold a master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, using a holistic, eclectic approach tailored to each client. View 7 Photos My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and grounded in a decolonizing, anti-pathologizing lens. I don’t view you as broken—your emotions and behaviors are meaningful responses to your experiences. I integrate evidence-based practices—including CBT, REBT, and mindfulness—to support your growth, resilience, and day-to-day well-being.
