People often work with me when they are questioning their relationships with important people in their lives, as well as when they are learning more about the relatio...

My focus is to work with adult individuals struggling with anxiety, depress...
***Currently serving individuals in California and Oregon*** Hello!

I am a licensed clinical social worker, and have been in practice since 2013. I completed my undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley in 2008, and rec...

For many of us, the hardest challenge to overcome is to ask for help. If you're reading this, you've already found the courage to start becoming the best version of yourself.

The relationships we have had throughout our lives are also deeply influential in shaping who we are and our current relationships. Therapy can be helpful in giving each person a greater sense and deeper understanding ...
