As a compassionate and accepting therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. Using a trauma-informed approach, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques to help individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage emotions, and break free from unhelpful patterns. My goal is to foster resilience, healing, and personal growth with empathy, warmth, and understanding.

In the private telehealth setting, with a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, we can explore the sources of your stress, change destructive behaviors, and the root of thought patterns, relationship interactions, and overall life improvement together.
My work is rooted in the belief that every person has inherent worth and the potential for transformation. In therapy, I tailor my approach to each client’s specific needs, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness practices. By blending these techniques with a faith-based perspective, I aim to provide care that feels both practical and spiritually grounded.
I am passionate about helping couples, families, individuals, and teens navigate life’s challenges to improve their quality of life, overall wellbeing, and interpersonal relationships. My work encompasses a wide range of mental health issues, including trauma, depression, and anxiety. I am committed to doing the work alongside clients in session and have seen the most improvement for clients who are motivated to doing work outside their sessions as well.
My LGBTQIA2S+ clients are acutely in tune with authenticity. At times, this quality can cause life to feel heavy and overwhelming. The worry, stress or fear can cause folx to feel stuck. The things that once helped, no longer work. Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety and trauma. Our journey together can help navigate these things and create a map for what is next.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am also experienced in healthy peer and intimate relationships, co-dependency, LGBTQ+, and adoption related issues. My approach is eclectic with an emphasis on CBT. Identifying faulty core beliefs in particular while working to accurately shift them can benefit overall progress. Increasing positive coping, self care, and mindfulness are also essential in my work. To start, we will explore what you want and discuss how we can get you there.

My clients broadly fall into 4 buckets: couples, teens, executives, and those dealing with substance use issues. I also work with your prototypical adult therapy client who is searching for more meaning in life, struggling with anxiety/depression, or trying to navigate a break-up.
I work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families that have experienced difficulties in relationships, chronic illness, and adjustments to daily challenges we may all experience including anxiety, depression, work stress, and relationship stress.
At Newport Academy, we address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms. We guide teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing by treating the underlying issues—such as trauma, depression, and anxiety—that catalyze substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders. Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family-focused and results-oriented.
I specialize in trauma-informed, person-centered care, addictive disorders, gender issues, parenting, sociocultural trauma related to oppressive systems, fragmented self, abuse recovery, marital and family conflict using with an integrative, cooperative and multi-dimensional approach.
With extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and older adults, I help clients uncover the deeper roots of their struggles, heal, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I’ve worked in community clinics, the LGBT Center in LA, and dual diagnosis treatment centers, facilitating 4,000+ psychodrama groups in IOP, PHP, and residential settings.

You put on a brave smile and say you’re fine when you know you’re not. You’re exhausted because you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You’re isolated because you don’t recognize the woman you see in the mirror. You’re confused because you’ve lost sight of who you are. Even the relationships you care most about are now draining you. All your duties just keep piling on and you’re forced to keep bearing through it. Therapy can help untangle life's messiness.
I offer a safe space for your pain and heartbreak, whether you long for a deep change or want a short-term symptom relief now. I support clients who struggle with high stress and anxiety, heartbreak of grief and loss, effects of childhood, generational and relational trauma, and help couples and relationships resolve conflict, improve communication and restore trust. I support high achieving teens and high functioning adults struggling with exhaustion, burnout, perfectionism and self-doubt.
Do you long for deeper connection, more clarity and peace. Or have you felt the tension of struggle in satisfaction of your relationships (friendships, romantic relationships or family of origin), or your relationship with your body, food or exercise? I want to help you thrive in your relationships, body and life.
Are you stuck in patterns that don't support the healthy and balanced life you imagine? Do you feel like it's impossible to move away from destructive behaviors and build supportive, loving relationships? You may be feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by these anxiety-driven patterns—I hear you. Therapy can provide insight and tools to break free from these patterns and gain clarity on behaviors that support who you truly are. I look forward to helping you find the path to well-being.
