Together, we will build a space where your daughter can bring her whole self — the parts she shows the world, the parts she keeps hidden, the parts she's still figuring out. We'll pay careful attention to what she's actually navigating. Slowly, as trust builds, we'll work through what feels stuck and support what wants to grow.

Families I've worked with often describe my approach as grounded, warm, and genuinely present. Parents note that I take their daughter seriously and that I listen for who she actually is, not who she's supposed to be. Adolescents themselves tell me our sessions feel different than they expected, in ways that let them relax and be honest.

I became a therapist because I want adolescent girls to feel seen, heard, and cared for and to trust their own experience. So many girls are told, subtly and overtly, to be smaller than they are. My work is about the opposite: making space for your daughter to be who she is, and supporting her in becoming more fully herself.

Before opening my private practice, I spent seven years as a school-based clinician across PAUSD, Aspire, KIPP, and Downtown College Preparatory. This means I understand adolescent girls not just clinically, but in the context of the schools they actually attend and the family dynamics that shape their days. I bring that understanding into every session.
