About My Clients
Lately it feels like you and your partner are speaking different languages. Or maybe you’re holding it together for everyone else, while inside you feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck. Therapy can be the place where you stop carrying it all alone and start making real changes. I help couples move out of stuck patterns, rebuild trust, and feel close again. I also work with individuals, teens, and families who want to feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives and relationships.
My Background and Approach
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Hermosa Beach, CA, offering therapy in person and online throughout California. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens who are navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional overwhelm, trauma, or life transitions. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I’m not the kind of therapist who just sits back and nods. I stay engaged with you, curious about your inner world, and gently challenging when it helps open up new possibilities. Together we slow down, look beneath the surface, and untangle the patterns and emotions that keep you stuck. I draw from existential, mindfulness, and strength-based approaches, which means our work will balance insight with practical tools you can use in everyday life. Whether you are seeking couples counseling, therapy for anxiety, or support for a teen or family, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to create meaning.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
For me, therapy is not just about reducing symptoms. It is about exploring what it means to live fully and honestly. It is the space where you get to pause and ask the questions that matter: Who am I? What do I need? What keeps me from living in alignment with myself? In our work we slow down and bring attention to the emotions, relationships, and inner conflicts that often get pushed aside. I draw from existential, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-informed approaches to help clients deepen self-awareness, strengthen emotional insight, and clarify what matters most. Therapy is a chance to reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels authentic, intentional, and connected. My values guide every session. Empathy, authenticity, integrity, and empowerment are the foundation of how I work. I strive to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and free from judgment, where you can explore openly and feel supported in your process.
