I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles, I specialize in helping clients with self-esteem struggles, anxiety, depression, identity development, complex family dynamics, disordered eating, and trauma. I support clients navigating major life transitions and family changes like divorce or loss, as well as academic pressure, bullying and relationship stress. It's common for these experiences to bring anxiety, sadness or withdrawal, feelings of inadequacy, or a search for identity. In my practice, I work with clients 13 years and older. 

I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a relational, insight-oriented approach. This means building practical, hands-on coping skills while helping clients make sense of the familial and social dynamics shaping how they see themselves. I support my clients in developing greater self-compassion, emotional flexibility, and clarity around their values, as they navigate new responsibilities and figure out who they want to be. My goal is to help my clients feel not just better, but equipped with skills and insight they can carry forward. 

I have a deeply personal understanding of what it means to exist between worlds, navigating questions of identity, belonging, and how we carry our histories with us, both our own and the ones we inherit, patterns that can surface at any stage of life. I am committed to providing care that is affirming, inclusive, and responsive to the full complexity of your background, identity, and lived experience. I also offer in-person and virtual ADHD assessments for teens and young adults looking for diagnostic clarification.

I received my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at George Washington University and completed my APA-accredited internship and postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA Counseling & Psychological Services, providing evidence-based treatments like CBT and ACT for depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief and loss, and traumatic stress. At Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine, my clinical training included individual, family, and group therapy utilizing DBT skills, working alongside parents to support their child's progress. I also developed community outreach programs on body image, eating disorders, and demystifying therapy, and more recently have focused on adolescent mental health through resilience curriculum development and community trainings on youth mental health crises.
