How can teletherapy work? How can you provide care remotely?

I am a friend, a sister, and a daughter of immigrants, born and raised in the ‘burbs of LA. I am a firm believer of approaching life with a strong sense of humor and an even stronger cup of boba. In my role as a therapist, I am most motivated by the resiliency of my clients and draw inspiration from my own lived experiences. Life shouldn’t feel so tough. When challenges arise, my goal is to empower my clients to live more meaningful, present-focused, and value-driven lives. I achieve this by tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs of my clients with the help of evidenced based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and various other modalities. I have experience working with individuals who live with anxiety, depression, and past trauma, and enjoy helping my clients navigate through the struggles of everyday life. I have worked with people from all walks of life, with the bulk of my experience in community mental health working with at-risk youth. My clients are welcome as they are, whoever they are. I approach therapy with a collaborative and non-judgmental stance in which clients can be their most true and authentic selves. I will walk with and support my clients in their journey to healing, growth, and to living their best lives.

Are you experiencing more stress and anxiety than ever before? Are there massive changes underway in your life that are keeping you up at night? Have you been thinking back to the past and wondering if you are finally ready to deal with difficult events that have left you scarred. Any one of these situations can have you wanting to run away from your emotions and continue stuffing the hard stuff way down down deep inside. But you’ve handled things this way before, and you are convinced that it’s time for a change. I specialize in helping my client gain relief from anxiety and further their recovery from trauma. There are so many tools that can get you back to a place feeling happier and more like the best version of yourself, and it doesn’t have to take a long time to figure this out! Let's work together to get you unstuck and back in control. 

Are you finally at a place in your life where you're no longer in survival mode? You’ve hit six figures? You’re checking off the bucket list items? Your friends and family think you’re doing so well… but there's still something missing? I get it. I help high-achieving, creative women like you face the ghosts of your past that are preventing you from reaching your goals. Past toxic relationships, traumatic experiences, and "crazy" emotions can keep us stuck in self sabotaging patterns, and prevent us from making friends with our feelings. You might experience low levels of chronic depression and anxiety. How do I know? I was there! I was a Director at a large agency at the top of my field, married, house, dog, had it all. Yet, I still felt like something was missing. Thanks to my clinical training I was able to understand past trauma (that I wasn’t addressing) was the culprit. Now I help high-achieving women fill that last missing piece in their lives. I'm a mixed race BIPOC, queer woman, and therapist. If you want a therapist who is a collaborative partner that can share resources, ideas, and motivate you, as well as offer science backed tools to heal trauma, I’d be honored if you'd consider working with me.

As a licensed therapist, I provide a safe and confidential environment where you can explore your feelings and work through your challenges. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating disruptive life events. I use evidence-based therapies, such as solution-focused therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-focused therapy, to help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.

People-Pleasing gone wild? As an anxiety therapist, I identified 10 common symptoms of anxiety. I specialize in working with empathic, sensitive, responsible adults in California who are helping others but unfortunately at their own expense. Wouldn't it be amazing if you too benefitted from your strengths and gifts? I teach you tools to gift yourself with grace, kindness, and self-forgiveness.

Welcome! As a holistically focused Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I aim to work alongside my clients in building their confidence and empowering them to take an active role in improving their relationships and overall wellbeing. I work with a range of adults who are experiencing challenges ranging from relationship challenges, to low self-esteem, to coping with stress, or symptoms of anxiety and depression. As a clinician who identifies as a woman of color, I work to understand my clients through a culturally competent lens, considering how race, culture, identity, biology and family have shaped their unique experiences and lives. Utilizing approaches such as CBT, EFT, and Mindfulness as well as integrating physical and nutritional components, I foster an environment that treats the whole person and emphasizes the inextricable link between our social, physical and mental health. It is my goal to work deeply with clients to identify and implement integrative and actionable lifestyle choices that will improve overall well-being as well as the ability to create and sustain healthy relationships with others. I believe that success is not only treating the symptoms, but moving beyond that to create a sustainable lifestyle that addresses the root causes of mental health issues and allows individuals to flourish and thrive. I encourage my clients to live with intention, curiosity, playfulness, and connectedness and support individuals in becoming their most healthy, empowered and abundant selves.
