Welcome to a safe and nurturing space where you can freely discuss the issues of life. Therapy is not always easy, but it is the start of a journey toward the life that God wants for us. A life full of happiness, laughter, and purpose.

As someone who has faced pain and struggle, I understand the value of taking responsibility for our actions and breaking unhealthy patterns. I've come to realize the truth in God's Word, "In this world, you will have struggles." Through my journey, I discovered that a skilled therapist can be a powerful guide, leading us toward the most significant investment of our lives.

If you're ready to embark on a journey toward a more fulfilling life, I'm here to support you. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a credentialed clinician with the Partnership Health Plan administered through BEACON Health Strategies as part of Medi-Cal, I'm committed to helping you reach your goals. With ZOOM (telehealth) sessions, we can work together to create positive change and a brighter future.

  • My practice addresses a range of concerns, including relationship issues that impede interpersonal connection and communication. In particular, I provide support for individuals and couples struggling with boundary challenges related to difficult and inflexible personalities, as well as addressing mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

    My therapeutic work also encompasses the complex challenges associated with life transitions, which are commonly experienced during the aging process. Additionally, I offer guidance and support around issues of faith, grace, and forgiveness, with particular emphasis on self-forgiveness. I work collaboratively with clients to help them gain insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting change.
