I’ve been a therapist for 10+ years, including work in community mental health and supporting high-performing professionals through employee resource programs. My private practice focuses on anxiety and related disorders like OCD, phobias, and insomnia.
I earned my Master of Social Welfare with a concentration in mental health from the University of California Los Angeles. Before that, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Whitman College, where I wrote a thesis on the mental health impact of migration on farmworkers.

Sessions are collaborative, structured, and practical. We spend time understanding what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what keeps it going. From there, we develop a plan that fits your goals and your life.
Sessions with me
I regularly use approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia. Each tool is chosen for a reason and explained in plain language so you understand the reason behind the method.
If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d be glad to connect.
