Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a licensed mental health professional in the state of California with over five years of clinical experience. My work is grounded in evidence-based practice and a deep commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care. I have extensive experience supporting clients facing a wide range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, anger management, relationship issues, family conflict, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and confidence-related difficulties.
In addition to working with common mental health concerns, I have significant experience in treating complex and treatment-resistant mental illness. I strongly support the principles of precision psychiatry, and I utilize an interdisciplinary and integrative approach to ensure that treatment is as personalized, effective, and comprehensive as possible. This includes collaboration with professionals across psychiatry, psychology, and allied health disciplines to address the full biopsychosocial spectrum of mental health.
My prognostic belief system is one of hope and empowerment. I believe that even in the face of severe or long-standing mental health challenges, meaningful healing and transformation are possible. My work is guided by the conviction that individuals can reconnect with their strengths, find purpose, and move toward lasting change when provided with the right tools and support.
I believe that every person deserves to be treated with respect, sensitivity, and dignity. My therapeutic process is grounded in mutual trust, and I tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique and specific needs of the individual.
In pursuit of clinical excellence, I remain actively engaged in ongoing research focused on complex and severe mental illness, with the goal of advancing our understanding and improving outcomes for individuals with the greatest needs.
Taking the first step to begin therapy takes courage. I commend you for making that choice, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Research shows that remote therapy can be an effective option for many common concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and coping with life changes. For these issues, online therapy often performs comparably to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is convenience. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit care into busy schedules.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients have the option to change therapists if they prefer a different fit. This flexibility and range of communication options make remote therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
