Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or questions about who you are, and hoping to feel more like yourself again? I support adults, adolescents, and seniors navigating anxiety, ADD/ADHD, LGBTQIA+ identity, and PTSD. My primary focus is helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected while facing life changes. I offer a warm, accepting space for your full story.

I am a friendly goal-oriented therapist who believes strongly in positive self-reinforcement. I have a Master's degree from La Tech University with a background in private practice for over 20 years. I am Licensed in Louisiana and Texas as a professional counselor. I am also Licensed as a marriage and family therapist in Louisiana.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I provide a welcoming environment that is safe, nurturing, and judgment-free.
You don't have to arrive here put together. Whatever you're carrying right now belongs in this space: anxiety, grief, relationship stress, a shifting sense of who you are, or something you haven't quite found words for yet. I work with adults and older adults navigating the full range of what life brings, with a particular passion for supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities and people who are questioning or deconstructing their faith. My work spans trauma, identity, women's issues, OCD, depression, and the anger or sadness that accumulates when you've been holding too much for too long.
I work well with anyone who seeks therapy and is ready to work on themselves. I have worked with about every population, culture and age group. Issues that I am best suited to treating include a wide variety of disorders, childhood trauma, addictions, domestic violence, parenting/bonding/interpersonal relationships. I certified in EMDR and expressive arts therapy. I like to offer different forms of expression to my clients in the healing arts. I also give plenty of skill building tools and homework so clients can maximize their progress outside of the weekly sessions. I speak Spanish fluently.
I offer a supportive, affirming space where clients can show up authentically. I guide individuals in rediscovering themselves and taking meaningful steps toward a more purposeful and aligned life.
I believe that every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and create meaningful change when they feel understood, supported, and empowered. My goal is to provide a welcoming, compassionate environment where clients feel safe to explore life's challenges without judgment. I work with individuals who are seeking practical solutions, greater self-awareness, and lasting personal growth. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck! My background is rooted in working with diverse groups, including veterans, military personnel, individuals with chronic mental illness, people involved in the juvenile justice and forensic systems, and students from elementary to university level. I bring a deep commitment to cultural competency and awareness to my practice, aiming to create an environment where every client feels seen and understood. My professional journey includes roles as a supervisor at the Long Beach VA, leadership at Metropolitan State Hospital, and work in psychiatric and probation settings, giving me a broad perspective and unique insights that inform my work.
I believe therapy works best when people feel comfortable being themselves. I aim to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can talk openly about what they’re going through. Outside of therapy I enjoy gardening, creating art, practicing mindfulness, and spending time with my kids and pets, which all help keep me grounded and present.
