Associate Clinical Social Worker
Psychotherapy for Adults — Long Beach, California
I help high-performers, deep feelers, and everyday humans reconnect with themselves so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
Welcome
People seek therapy for many reasons. You might be feeling lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you're navigating challenges in your relationships, career, or personal growth and are searching for clarity and relief.
Whether you're navigating a life transition, healing old wounds, or reaching for your next level — emotionally, physically, or spiritually — therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and come back to your truth.
Whatever brings you here, know that you don't have to face it by yourself. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain new insights, and develop the tools to move forward with confidence and ease.
Together, we'll work toward meaningful growth and healing — at a pace that feels right for you. My approach is collaborative and rooted in evidence-based methods that support lasting change.

About Me
I'm an Associate Clinical Social Worker at Lifebloom Therapy and a collaborator with Elite Sports Performance. Whether you're a high-achieving athlete, a lifelong people-pleaser, a perfectionist in recovery, or someone just trying to find steady ground again — therapy with me is a space to slow down and feel seen.
With a warm and encouraging approach, a trauma-informed lens, and a passion for soul-validating therapy, I integrate mindfulness, movement, and inner child work to nurture the growth you desire. Therapy with me is rooted in accessibility, body respect, and cultural humility.
I believe all people — in all bodies and all walks of life — deserve to be seen, supported, and celebrated. You carry the greatness within you; I'm here to help you harness it.

How It Works
Here's what you can expect from our work together.
The clients I work with often have full lives, meaningful relationships, and a knack for caring deeply. But internally, there's a quiet weight — an emotional undercurrent that's hard to name.
I believe that when we slow down and bring awareness to our internal and external experiences, the conditions for healing begin to emerge. You start to notice what's been shaping your inner world — patterns, emotions, beliefs — and with time, there's more space to feel it all and make sense of the story behind it.
Call or email to share what's bringing you to therapy. I'll get back to you within 1–2 business days.
We can arrange a brief phone consultation or I can answer any questions via email — whatever feels right for you.
If it feels like a good fit, we'll schedule your first session and begin this journey together.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. I'll ask about what's bringing you to therapy, your history, and your goals. You'll have plenty of space to ask questions and see if my approach feels like a good fit.
If you're curious about therapy, that's often reason enough to explore it. You don't need to be in crisis — many people come to build self-understanding, navigate transitions, or simply feel more like themselves.
