Welcome! I am a therapist providing services to adults and youth. I work with individuals who are struggling with depression, low motivation, worry, past trauma, stress, and more.

Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. But even before motherhood, life has a way of piling on. Maybe you’re a college student juggling everything at once, a working woman with too many open tabs and not enough hours, or a mom running on empty wondering when it became this hard. Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, pregnancy loss, burnout, life transitions, or just that feeling that you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way — you deserve more than just getting through the day. This space is for you!

I believe healing happens in the context of safe and supportive relationships. At Hope Restored Counseling, my goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and understanding as you work through life’s challenges. Whether you’re working through relationship struggles, stress, or personal growth, I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard. My clients often share that they feel encouraged, cared for, and empowered in our work together. I want you to know that you don’t have to do this alone—there is hope, and I’m here to help you restore it.

I’m so glad you’re here! I provide therapy for individuals navigating life’s most challenging moments. I support individuals facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, caregiver stress, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive space where healing and self-confidence can grow.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Hunter School of Social Work and have lived and practiced in California for over three decades.

Choosing a therapist is a big decision, and it helps to know a little about the person you’ll be working with. With more than 18 years in behavioral health, I’ve supported people from all walks of life through mental health challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. Whatever brought you here, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move forward with more confidence and resilience.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering to individuals of all ages. I have 8 years of experience in the field in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating through depression, anxiety, and everyday life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through my multi-modal therapeutic approach which integrates CBT and solution-focused, reality-based strategies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.

I have been a psychotherapist for almost 15 years seeing clients in a variety of settings including out patient hospital/group setting, clinical settings, and private practice. I am passionate about my work as a psychotherapist. Both clients and colleagues have labeled me with a "tough love approach" while simultaneously challenging them to reach their potential. While hiring, training and supervising new therapist, I would often remind them, "Clients don't care what you teach them, until they know that you care about them".

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I currently work remotely in California. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, and I have been licensed in Marriage & Family Therapy since 2008. I spent the first half of my career in public service, specifically working in the nonprofit sector and on the county level in Los Angeles, Orange and Monterey Counties. I started my private practice in 2012, and since that time I've worked primarily with individual adults experiencing trauma-related symptoms, mood dysregulation (anxiety, depression), and relational challenges (codependence, narcissism, attachment issues, fractured family of origin).

I love doing this work! I consider it a great privilege to walk alongside my clients, to partner with them, support them in their journey, and witness their growth.
