A little about me

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I specialize in supporting teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety and eating disorders. In our sessions, we’ll work collaboratively to understand and manage your emotions, aiming to lessen their negative impact on your life. With a combination of personal insight and professional expertise, I provide a tailored approach to meet each client’s unique needs in a safe, supportive environment. My goal is to guide you through life’s challenges, helping you develop greater ease and confidence.

My passion for psychology started with my own journey through therapy. Growing up, I struggled with anxiety and often relied on unhealthy coping mechanisms that provided only temporary relief. Through therapy, I gained valuable skills, new perspectives, and self-compassion. This transformation inspired me to help others on their mental health journey. Some people learn self-love and resilience early on, while others, like me, find them later in life—and that’s perfectly okay.

Despite therapy being a taboo topic in some communities, I am committed to challenging these perceptions and advocating that mental health care is for everyone. Together, we will set goals, identify patterns, and practice new coping skills. While improvement takes time, with dedication, you can see positive changes in your symptoms. My personal experience, combined with my education and training, has led to meaningful progress for many of my clients.

Every individual’s journey is unique, and I believe in creating a supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I’m here to guide you as you build the tools needed for lasting change and a more fulfilling life.
