Let's Get Real For A Moment

I became a therapist in Hermosa Beach because life does not always go the way we plan. I have learned firsthand how hard, beautiful, and complicated that can be.

What drew me to this work was a deep pull to understand what it means to be human. I wanted to sit with people in their hardest moments and witness their growth, resilience, and rediscovery of self. Over time, I came to see that my own experiences of navigating change, loss, and new beginnings were not only challenges. They were teachers.

Pursuing a master’s degree in clinical psychology felt like coming home. I felt called to support others through grief, reinvention, and the complex relationships we have with others and with ourselves.

I know what it feels like when life takes a hard left turn. Many of my clients find themselves there too, stuck between who they once were and who they are becoming. My education, lived experiences, and work as a therapist allow me to walk alongside others as they navigate change, rebuild trust with themselves, and find a new way forward.

This is the heart of why I became a therapist.
