I am a therapist located in Long Beach, CA. I have over 9 years of experience working with children, parents and families of various backgrounds. I strive to create a safe place for you to express your concerns, to feel heard and understood. My approach is very individualized based on your current needs. I am interested in the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) and help facilitate an environment conducive to collaboration and understanding. I strive to provide you with the tools and strategies you need in order to help you achieve your goals. I believe therapy can be the most important form of self-care.

As an EMDR and DBT therapist, I help adults who experience anxiety, depression and/or a trauma. Perhaps you are dealing with adjusting to a stressor, life transition or just life in general. I will work as a team with you to develop a treatment plan with goals to address your unique situation. As the famous BF Skinner stated, “A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.” I hope together we can work together to develop the tools to live a resilient, fulfilling life.

I am a huge sports fan! I love both watching sports and playing sports. I love soccer and snowboard. I enjoy being outside and being active.

I workout daily as an outlet and a way to support my mental health.

I enjoy being with my family and friends. I love traveling and going on short trips often helps me to recharge.

I have 2 puppies and they are my life. I got Zoey at the beginning of the pandemic and she is a huge pandemic puppy. When the world started opening up again I had to buy a puppy camera so that I could watch her because I was worried about her being alone. I then got another puppy to keep her company and they do funny stuff all day.
