we’ll work towards cultivating hope, resilience, and inner strength, empowering you to lead a more fulfilling life.
We work with clients suffering from Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD/Trauma.
I specialize in addressing a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), communication difficulties, couples therapy, and sex therapy. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness techniques, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP, recognized as the gold standard for treating OCD, is central to my work with clients, ensuring effective and targeted interventions. Each modality is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients, fostering resilience, healing, and meaningful transformation.
With a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University, I bring a depth of expertise and advanced training to my therapeutic practice. My professional journey spans over a decade and includes extensive certifications and experience across diverse clinical settings, ranging from private practice to specialized mental health programs. I approach every session with empathy, respect, and a commitment to delivering personalized, client-centered care. My overarching goal is to empower individuals and couples to develop self-awareness, navigate challenges effectively, and build stronger, healthier relationships.
Currently, I provide all services through telehealth, enabling clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their homes. This approach ensures flexibility and convenience while maintaining a consistent standard of therapeutic support. Approximately 60% of my practice is dedicated to treating OCD and related disorders, reflecting my strong focus and expertise in this area. Through telehealth, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, achieve their goals, and experience meaningful progress in their mental health and relationships.
As a therapist, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment that celebrates diversity, promotes inclusivity, and honors the unique lived experiences of every client. I recognize that individuals are shaped by intersecting identities, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, socio-economic status, and cultural background. These identities influence not only how we experience the world but also how we approach healing and growth. My mission is to create a safe and affirming space where clients feel seen, valued, and empowered to embrace their authentic selves.
I approach therapy with cultural humility, an ongoing commitment to understanding and respecting the diverse perspectives and experiences that clients bring to the therapeutic relationship. I actively strive to recognize and challenge systemic barriers, biases, and stigmas that may impact mental health and well-being. Whether working with clients navigating the complexities of identity, experiencing discrimination, or addressing intergenerational trauma, I am dedicated to tailoring my therapeutic approach to align with each individual’s cultural values, strengths, and needs.
My own professional and personal journey has reinforced the importance of inclusivity in the therapeutic process. With over a decade of experience working with diverse populations, including marginalized and underserved communities, I have developed a sensitivity to the unique challenges faced by individuals from varied cultural and social backgrounds. As a certified EMDR therapist, Level 2 Gottman Couples Therapist, and practitioner of evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I integrate culturally responsive practices into my work. This means not only understanding but also honoring the ways culture, identity, and personal history intersect with mental health.
In my practice, I prioritize creating a collaborative therapeutic space where clients are empowered to explore how cultural and systemic factors impact their mental health, relationships, and self-perception. I invite open dialogue about the ways identity influences their challenges and strengths, and I encourage clients to draw upon their cultural and personal resources as tools for healing and resilience.
I am also committed to lifelong learning and self-reflection to remain attuned to the evolving needs of a diverse society. This includes participating in ongoing training, engaging in conversations about privilege and oppression, and holding myself accountable for ensuring that my practice is both inclusive and equitable. By doing so, I aim to be a strong ally for clients from all walks of life and a dedicated advocate for equity in mental health care.
Ultimately, my therapeutic work is guided by a profound respect for human dignity and a belief in the transformative power of acceptance, empathy, and connection. My goal is to help clients not only heal but also thrive, embracing their individuality and living with purpose, meaning, and authenticity.

Navigating life’s challenges can be overwhelming, especially when they stem from deep-rooted experiences like childhood trauma or complex PTSD, dealing with anxiety or anxiety-related disorders, depression, or relationship and communication issues. But you’re not alone on this journey. As a therapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can freely express, process, and explore their emotions. Whether you’re a young professional dealing with career stress, part of a neurodiverse couple, or facing personal struggles, my goal is to support you every step of the way.
With a decade of specialized experience, I tackle a broad spectrum of issues, including addiction, anxiety, trauma, OCD, relationship woes, low self-esteem, depression, complex PTSD, and childhood trauma.
