Therapy for Adults
Life as an adult often comes with its own challenges—managing stress, navigating relationships, or finding balance while dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore these challenges and discover tools to help you heal and thrive.
For adults facing dual diagnosis—the presence of both a mental health condition and substance use disorder—I bring specialized expertise from my work at UCLA's Dual Diagnosis Intensive Outpatient Program. Together, we'll address the unique ways these challenges interact, helping you find clarity, stability, and a path toward recovery.
Finding Balance in Life's Challenges
Therapy for Teens
Adolescence is a time of discovery, growth, and challenges. I work with teens to address anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and peer or school difficulties. Therapy provides a safe space where teens feel supported while exploring their emotions and building confidence.
Some teens also face challenges with substance use or the combination of mental health and substance use (dual diagnosis). These issues can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, recovery is possible. Together, we'll work on understanding these struggles and creating a plan for healing and resilience.

Taking the First Step
Beginning therapy is a courageous decision, and I'm here to make it easier. We'll start with a free 15-minute consultation in a warm, judgment-free space, where you can share your story and learn how I can help. I offer flexible scheduling with both in-person and telehealth options to accommodate your needs.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working both in private practice and at UCLA's Dual Diagnosis Program, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and compassionate care to my work. I specialize in helping adults and teens find their path to healing through evidence-based therapies including CBT, EMDR, and Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, or substance use challenges, I'm here to support your journey toward healing and growth.
