⭐Top Rated | 8+ Years Experience
With over 8 years of dedicated clinical experience and more than 500 client sessions, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges. I truly enjoy working with people from all walks of life—each with their own stories, strengths, and goals. My focus is to support you with practical tools and compassionate care on your path to healing.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, along with a deep commitment to personalized, faith-sensitive guidance. I strive to help you experience inner peace, stronger connections, and a renewed sense of purpose—emotionally and spiritually.
Whether you're seeking to recover from past trauma, build healthier relationships, or simply grow into your best self, I offer a safe and supportive environment—in person at my Los Angeles office on Maplewood Drive or virtually through Zoom. Let's work together toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
