Together, we will work to enhance your connections with both yourself and others. My presence is dedicated to hearing your stories and providing a space where you don’t have to mask. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent therapist, I derive great joy from assisting others in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and their needs.

I will help you develop the skills you need to navigate transitions more effectively and provide you with resources to enhance your ability to cope with intense emotions. Our goal may be to support you working with your brain instead of against it.

For each client, I customize my sessions by integrating Narrative Therapy, Brainspotting, Parts Work, Nervous System Regulation, Art Therapy and various therapeutic tools with traditional talk therapy.

I offer Premarital Therapy to help you and your partner strengthen the foundation of your relationship and explore your shared values. Rather than waiting for challenges to arise, premarital counseling creates space for thoughtful conversations now so you can move forward with confidence, alignment, and deeper connection.

In our work together, we explore meaningful topics such as:

Visions for the Future
Intimacy and Connection
Handling Conflict
Values, Beliefs, and Cultural Backgrounds
Family Dynamics
Financial Matters
Personal Growth and Partnership
Practical Logistics and Roles
Technology Use and Boundaries

Premarital therapy is not about finding problems. It is about building skills, deepening understanding, and creating a strong, resilient partnership rooted in clarity and shared intention.

I work with individuals (from children to adults), couples, and families. My approach to therapy is guided by my love and passion for creativity and connection, utilizing a multicultural and trauma-informed framework. I will stand by your side, encouraging you to discover the keys to your healing that already reside within you.

I currently have in-person/virtual availability on Mondays and Tuesdays mornings/ midday, and virtual appointments available on Fridays. Limited in person times available.

About Me

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our two dogs, a Basset Hound and a Dachshund Pit Bull mix. I’m drawn to slower, cozy moments, usually with a cup of coffee and a spooky book or movie nearby. I’m a horror and fantasy nerd at heart.

Before becoming a therapist, I studied Literature and Writing at UC San Diego, and writing was my first love. That foundation continues to shape how I approach therapy today. I believe the stories we tell about ourselves matter, and I enjoy helping clients re-author narratives that may no longer fit, making space for stories that reflect who they are and who they are becoming.
