Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

Therapy,
on your terms.

Your healing, your growth and your process are unique to you — the support and care you receive should be too. I am dedicated to holding space for a collaborative approach to healing. You are the expert of your experience, and it is a privilege to join you on your path.

"The wound is the place where the light enters you."

Dr. Sahar Martinez

Meet your therapist

Welcome —
I'm so glad you're here.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering individual and couples therapy to support folks as they navigate relational issues, transitional phases of life, emotional pain, trauma, grief & loss. I specialize in perinatal mental health, honoring the intense shift that occurs for couples and individuals when they enter parenthood.

I approach my work from a social justice, anti-racist lens, honoring and holding space for the lived experiences of the BIPOC community. Though I'm based in Orange County, California, I offer Teletherapy sessions to clients throughout California.
