<p>No matter who you are, or where you're coming from, you are the one who will determine where your story begins. I'll meet you where you're at and focus on your strengths. We'll collaborate to find and treat the root cause of your presenting concerns. <p><p>
Underpinning my work is my belief in "tribe" (family and community). Tribes come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, flavors and configurations (I was raised in a multilingual and multicultural home). Our tribes shape how we feel, how we think, how we relate to others, and how others relate to us (sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, sometimes it's hard to know). <p><p>
I love this work and look forward to learning your story.
I have been a psychologist, marriage therapist and coach for many years and truly enjoy helping people find ways to overcome life challenges in their personal life, workplace, and relationships. I see myself as a teacher as well as a therapist.

Life's journey is filled with unexpected twists and turns—stress, anxiety, depression, and moments of feeling utterly overwhelmed. Often, we find our way through these challenges on our own. Yet, there are times when the guidance of a compassionate, licensed psychotherapist can be invaluable in restoring balance and steering your life toward greater fulfillment and joy. As your therapist, I offer more than just interventions; I provide a nurturing space to listen, understand, and actively support your path to well-being.
Regardless of the situations or experiences you are going through, you are not alone. Every individual deserves to be heard and understood.
I provide a safe space for you to process your feelings and emotions, gain insight, heal from your past experiences, and utilize new coping tools and strategies to grow into a stronger version of yourself.
I have experience working with individuals: children, adolescents, young adults, and adults that struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma.
I am a Registered AMFT (#135937) and work under the direct supervision of licensed Clinical Social Worker Jessica Piña (#101452)
