Hi, and welcome to this space.
Whether you’re browsing, or actively searching for a counselor, welcome to this space! Life balance and problem solving take effort, and this is a great step in your journey!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California. I am a graduate of both Loyola Marymount University and Antioch University, Los Angeles where I refined my counseling skills. In the past ten years I’ve worked with various individuals who realize that they could use assistance navigating areas of their lives. We are all most knowledgeable about ourselves; sometimes we simply need assistance unraveling some of the challenging areas of this journey.
This thought is the foundation in which my therapeutic style rests. Together we can navigate this space using strategies and tools to develop insight to create the change you need! I value building a relationship that allows you to be as transparent as you need in order to achieve the goals set.
Let’s begin this journey together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
