About

Culturally Aware, Compassionate Care

“I understand how family, culture, and language shape our experiences, and I strive to create a supportive space where you feel fully seen and understood.”

I’m a licensed clinician in California, and for the past 16 years I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through many different seasons of life. Over the years, I’ve worked with clients facing relationship struggles, grief and loss, career stress, self-esteem and motivation challenges, as well as those navigating major life changes and transitions.

I believe you are the expert of your own story. My role is to walk alongside you—to listen, encourage, and help you recognize the strengths and possibilities that can guide you forward. My hope is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported in exploring what matters most to you.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage. I’d be honored to walk with you in a compassionate and supportive space as we work toward your goals together.

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

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One notable advantage is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists at any time if they would prefer a different fit.
