About

It can feel overwhelming to start therapy, especially when daily life already feels like a lot to carry. You might be questioning your worth, feeling pressure to meet everyone’s expectations, or caught in cycles that no longer serve you. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s from Cal State Los Angeles, I’ve supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions across community mental health and school-based settings. I show up as a real human in the room—someone who will meet you with compassion, validation, and empathy so you don’t have to face it all alone.
