Growing up as a neurodivergent daughter of immigrants in Los Angeles, I never imagined I’d become a therapist.

After majoring in English at Loyola Marymount University, I aspired to become a lawyer. When I graduated, I worked as a legal assistant in a criminal defense law firm and realized just how much I loved listening to our clients’ stories, and understanding what brought them to the complicated juncture of needing high-stakes legal representation. Overwhelmingly, I found the answer began in childhood. That realization shifted my sights away from law and toward helping children thrive.

A year later, after interning at a pediatric clinic that specialized in various therapies for neurodivergent children, I became a behavioral therapist. I spent the next five years teaching neurodivergent youth various life skills and how to get their sensitive needs met in a world that often failed to understand them. I then pursued my graduate studies at The Chicago School to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. But as I continued to passionately study other branches of psychology and family dynamics, I expanded my major to Clinical Psychology, to widen my professional repertoire to support not just youth, but their families, and improve not just observable behavior, but heal the inner landscape.

Upon becoming an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I began working in adolescent treatment for the next two years while maintaining a private caseload of children, adolescents, and young adults. Today, I work in private practice, specializing in supporting neurodivergent, insecurely attached, and highly sensitive people navigating the beautiful, complicated journey of being human. My approach is a blend of clinical expertise, experiential creativity, and genuine curiosity, grounded in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and an unwavering belief that change is always possible with the right support and people who believe in you.

If you tend to struggle with your relationships, feel emotions especially deeply, are passionately creative, and often feel overwhelmed by stress and burnout, I can offer a space where your depth is valued and your inner world is explored with curiosity and care. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to begin your therapy journey today. I'm so glad you're here taking the first step.
