Helping You Move Forward
Anxiety can make it harder to live the life you want.
It pulls you away from the things you care about, leaves you feeling stuck, and fills your head with self-doubt.
You don’t have to navigate it alone.
My Approach
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and am licensed in California as a marriage and family therapist (LMFT #102351). I specialize in anxiety and anxiety-adjacent struggles—things like overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, or feeling constantly on edge.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and rooted in evidence-based practices, especially Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). That means we won’t just talk about what’s hard. We’ll also build tools to help you respond differently to anxiety and reconnect with the things that matter most.
Therapy with me isn’t about trying to “fix” yourself. It’s about learning how to live with more intention, flexibility, and self-trust, even in the presence of hard thoughts and feelings.
A Bit About Me
On a personal note, I came to this work through my own experience with anxiety. I know what it’s like to be stuck in your head—overthinking, second-guessing, holding it together on the outside while struggling inside.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles in a biracial family—my mother was Japanese, and my father was white. Growing up, I navigated questions of identity and belonging, experiences that inform my empathetic approach to therapy.
I believe that therapy doesn’t have to be about “fixing” what’s broken. It can be about creating space to understand yourself more fully, connect to your values, and build a life that feels more grounded and true.
Are We The Right Fit?
Finding the right therapist is crucial. Therapy is a personal journey, and a strong client-therapist connection can significantly enhance the process.
You can get a feel for who I am through this site, but the best way to see if we’re a good match is to talk. A free consultation gives you a chance to hear my voice, get a feel for my style, and see how it feels to connect. No pressure—just a starting point.
