About My Clients

I work with high-achieving adults and parents who are doing a lot for others but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or worn down inside. Many are juggling work, family, identity shifts, or fertility and postpartum changes while trying to “hold it together.” They’re ready to slow down, understand what’s driving the stress, and build tools that help life feel more manageable again.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California, and I work primarily through telehealth with adults, parents, and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are high-achieving and used to pushing through, even when their nervous system feels constantly on edge. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and structured. I take time to understand what’s happening beneath the stress, then work collaboratively to build tools you can actually use in daily life. Sessions are thoughtful, practical, and supportive, with space for both insight and skill-building. I show up with warmth and care, and I’ll also offer gentle guidance and feedback when it’s helpful. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you. It's about helping you feel more regulated, grounded, and connected to yourself as you move through demanding seasons of life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive. I provide culturally responsive online therapy in California for adults and parents navigating anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions. My work is shaped by an understanding of how culture, family expectations, and identity impact mental health. I value therapy that is both thoughtful and practical. Rather than pushing for quick fixes, I focus on helping clients slow down, build awareness, and develop tools that support emotional balance and long-term steadiness during demanding seasons of life.
