When we experience painful events, trust in yourself and the world around you can seem to disappear. Hurt and isolated, it is easy to turn to unhealthy choices and coping patterns in an attempt to gain balance and control back in your life. Instead of feeling trapped by your anxiety and past traumas, imagine feeling confident in your ability to control your emotions.
Imagine feeling proud to be unapologetically you. I am so glad you found your way here. It takes courage to reach out and find support. I am committed to walking alongside you or your child to overcome stressful experiences and work towards building a healthier life. I will encourage you to build on your strengths and challenge you to achieve a greater sense of personal fulfillment.
I provide a young and fresh perspective, working with individuals who are facing a variety of issues including but not limited to depression, stress, anxiety, career concerns, trauma, isolation, lack of trust and confidence, and difficulty maintaining work/life balance.

Services
I earned a Bachelor's in Psychology from Loyola Marymount University (LMU).
I went on to earn a Master's from Mount Saint Marys University (MSMU), with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy.
In addition, I make it a high priority to continually expand my knowledge and do so by attending trainings and obtaining certifications for related clinical work.
During my undergraduate years at LMU, I worked with Project Touch Teen and Family Counseling in Hermosa Beach where I was able to co-facilitate group counseling with teens.

I provide in-person and online therapy (telehealth).
In-person therapy sessions are offered out of my cozy office in Hermosa Beach.
If you are not able to attend sessions in-person, I also offer sessions over an online HIPPA compliant platform called Simple Practice.
Although there are many advantages of online therapy, it may not be the best fit for everyone.
Online therapy is an option for those experiencing mild to moderate symptoms, who are comfortable using technology, and have a quiet, private place to have their sessions.

A few parking spots are available in front of the building.
On the occasion that the entire lot is full, there is plenty of parking on the side streets.

Each person's reason for coming to therapy is different.
Therapy provides an intentional time and place just for you.
Time to release everything you hold onto.
We will gain clarity and awareness about the quality of the relationship you have with yourself and the world around you.
We can identify unkind behaviors, thoughts, and judgments that negatively impact your experiences.
Ultimately, we will encourage a shift in mindset and a genuine desire to treat yourself with more compassion.
I offer in person sessions on a limited basis.
