Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. Starting therapy is a brave first step toward getting support. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, self-doubt, identity questions, or the demands of daily life, you’re not alone.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York, and a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I work with young adults through mid-life navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions of identity and purpose. 

My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and grounded in a decolonizing, anti-pathologizing lens. I don’t view you as broken—your emotions and behaviors are meaningful responses to your experiences.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University and use a holistic, eclectic approach tailored to each client. I integrate evidence-based practices—including CBT, REBT, and mindfulness—to support your growth, resilience, and day-to-day well-being.

I bring a culturally responsive, inclusive lens to my work and proudly support LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients. My role is to walk alongside you—helping you feel understood, empowered, and free to live a meaningful, authentic life.

If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you.
