About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with experience working as an adult and Teen therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career challenges, behavior issues and end of life issues. I also helped many children and adults who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is solutions focused and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psycho-dynamic and client centered approach. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. You are always the lead in sessions and I do my best to ensure you are challenged but comfortable.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether connecting with a therapist online can truly help. For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care. One of the primary benefits is flexibility. Individuals can choose the mode of communication that fits their life best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules. Licensed professionals provide online services, and if someone needs a different fit they can switch therapists at any time. For those seeking accessible, evidence-informed support for everyday mental health and relationship challenges, online therapy can be a practical and effective option.
