Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in Orange, CA

About My Clients

I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, identity exploration, life transitions, trauma, and substance use. I’m especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. I offer a warm, affirming space grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and collaboration. My goal is to help you feel more confident, empowered, and aligned with your authentic self.

My Background and Approach

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide compassionate, affirming therapy for adolescents and adults. I specialize in supporting those navigating self-esteem, anxiety, identity exploration, substance use, and life transitions. My work is rooted in evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I have experience working with LGBTQIA+ youth and adults and strive to create a culturally sensitive, inclusive space where you can feel safe and understood. Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to your unique goals—we’ll build on your strengths and work together toward healing, resilience, and deeper self-connection.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a female, queer-affirming therapist, I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they truly are. My work is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and social justice, and I especially enjoy supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, and those navigating identity, trauma, or generational challenges. I believe healing happens through connection and that therapy should honor your lived experiences, culture, and strengths. I’m committed to showing up with warmth, curiosity, and compassion—without judgment—as we explore what healing looks like for you. Together, we’ll work to empower your voice, deepen self-understanding, and help you move toward the life you want to live.
