About
I care deeply about helping you find freedom, feel worthy, and reach your full potential.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and complex family dynamics. Many of the individuals I work with feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns shaped by cultural, generational, or relational stressors and are seeking meaningful, lasting change. I focus on helping clients develop insight while also building practical skills they can use in daily life.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. My approach integrates trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based practices, somatic techniques, and parts work to support nervous system regulation and emotional processing.
I offer a collaborative, warm, and thoughtful therapeutic space where all parts of you are welcome. Together, we will slow things down, explore what feels most important, and work toward greater clarity, balance, and alignment with your values. You do not have to navigate this alone, and I would be honored to support you in your healing journey.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Berkeley, CA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Berkeley therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
All humans experience anxiety. We evolved to feel anxious sometimes as a way of avoiding dangerous situations. Anxiety is natural. But when someone experiences too much anxiety, it can cause dysfunction. Fortunately, the condition is highly treatable.

Stress is an uncomfortable emotional response that is usually caused by an external trigger. For example, someone may be overwhelmed by tasks at work and experience stress.

Both conditions have similar symptoms:
