He/His
Background and Approach
CA Registered Associate #130212
​
My journey into this profession began with my own experience of therapy and the profound impact it had on my life. As I experienced meaningful healing and personal growth, I developed a passion for helping others discover that same sense of hope, freedom, and transformation. Over the past decade of personal development, graduate training, and more than six years of clinical experience working with individuals, groups, and couples, I have dedicated my career to helping clients move beyond survival and begin creating lives that feel more authentic and fulfilling.
​
I believe effective therapy balances compassion with practical action. My approach follows three guiding phases. First, we build a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, safety, and collaboration. Next, we develop practical strategies that help you experience greater stability in your daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being. Once that foundation has been established, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other evidence-based approaches to help process unresolved experiences, shift deeply rooted beliefs, and create lasting emotional change.
​
I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions. I also enjoy supporting high-achieving professionals, early career adults, and individuals working to break longstanding emotional and relational patterns that may no longer serve them.
​
My work is collaborative, encouraging, and goal-oriented. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Gottman Method interventions, and trauma-informed care while tailoring treatment to each client's unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Whether we are addressing present-day challenges or deeper emotional wounds, my goal is to help you experience greater confidence, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose.
​
My practice focuses on helping adults and couples heal from the emotional experiences that continue to influence their relationships, self-worth, and everyday lives. I specialize in working with anxiety, complex trauma, low self-esteem, burnout, and relationship concerns while supporting clients in building healthier patterns, stronger communication, and greater emotional resilience.
​
I provide individual therapy, couples therapy, life coaching, executive and leadership coaching, and consulting services. My work is especially well-suited for high-performing professionals, early career adults, college students, individuals navigating career stress or burnout, and those working through childhood trauma or adverse life experiences.
​
For couples, I utilize Gottman-informed interventions to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and help partners better understand one another as they work toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
My clinical approach integrates EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and relational interventions while adapting treatment to each client's unique needs, values, and goals.
​
I am committed to providing culturally responsive and affirming care for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including immigrant communities, BIPOC communities, LGBTQIA2+ clients, Christian clients seeking faith-sensitive care, disabled populations, and individuals navigating significant life transitions or high-stress careers.

My Philosophy
I believe no one comes through life without experiencing emotional wounds. Whether those experiences are obvious or subtle, they often shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. Left unprocessed, those beliefs and experiences can quietly continue influencing our relationships, confidence, and overall quality of life.
​
I view therapy as an opportunity to understand those experiences rather than remain controlled by them. Healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about removing the barriers that have prevented you from becoming more fully yourself.
​
My role is to create a space where you feel supported, challenged, and understood while helping you develop both the practical tools and deeper insight needed for lasting change. Together, we work to build healthier ways of thinking, strengthen emotional resilience, improve relationships, and process the experiences that continue to keep you feeling stuck.
​
Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, healing from trauma, strengthening your relationship, or pursuing personal growth, I believe meaningful change is possible. My hope is that our work together helps you move forward with greater freedom, confidence, and a renewed perspective on yourself and your future.
