I provide a safe, elevated space for you to unburden, reflect, and grow—combining deep empathy with the strategic insight to help you thrive in even the most demanding circumstances.

For those who are high-achieving, busy professionals, with hectic schedules, I provide early morning or weekend sessions for your convenience.

Sessions are provided fully online.

  • Anxiety and Depression

    Have you lost interest in doing things you used to love to do? Are you up at night with your brain going in circles, worrying about everything? Let’s talk about it.

  • Grief, Loss, & Caregiver Support

    Have you lost someone close to you, and you don’t know how to move on?

    Is someone you love sick with a chronic illness and you’re watching them change and disappear right before your eyes? Let’s talk about it.

    Have you found yourself a caregiver of an aging parent or loved one? Are you feeling alone, frustrated, or maybe even trapped in this role? Let’s talk about it.

  • Life Transitions

    Have you retired and you’re not sure who you are anymore? Are you feeling lost? Have you had a change in your job, located to a new city, become an empty nester, or had any other changes in your life that are causing you stress, anxiety, depression, or wondering who you are now? Let’s talk about it.

  • Support for Adoptive Parents

    Adoption is one of the most amazing and selfless gifts one human being can give to another. But it isn’t always easy… in fact, it often isn’t easy. Do you need a safe place to talk about your frustrations, fears, and maybe even your doubts? Let’s talk about it.

About Me

Confidential, Concierge-Level Therapy for Professionals and Families in Transition


I provide discreet, results-driven psychotherapy for high-achieving individuals and families navigating life’s most challenging seasons. With a calm, strategic approach and over a decade of specialized experience, I help you move from stress and uncertainty to clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose—without compromising your privacy or your pace.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2015, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. Over the years, my work has brought me alongside foster and adoptive parents, executives, caregivers, and seniors—individuals facing profound transitions and, often, overwhelming responsibilities. I have supported clients through depression, anxiety, grief, symptoms of trauma, and the deep emotional shifts that come with major lifestyle changes.

My specialty includes guiding adults caring for aging parents and offering nuanced support to foster and adoptive parents—roles that require both emotional resilience and compassionate understanding. In every engagement, I provide a secure, judgment-free environment where you can explore your thoughts, fears, hopes, and goals with confidence that you are fully heard and understood.

Your time is valuable, and your well-being is essential. I invite you to schedule a private consultation to see if my approach is the right fit for your next chapter.
