“I integrate both Eastern and Western ideas holistically to focus on helping adults reduce anxiety, build self-esteem, improve relationship w/ self and others and Find Balance in life. I do this in part by helping you to learn how you work, and what you need. Free 20 minute consultation calls.”

About Me

I integrate Eastern and Western ideas to help adults find greater balance and emotional well-being. We explore ways to reduce anxiety, build self-esteem, and strengthen your connections. My approach guides you to learn how you uniquely work and understand what you truly need. This helps you navigate challenges with clarity, fostering a stronger sense of self and inner calm.

Approach

Learning your patterns becomes the gateway to practical change, shifting how you relate to yourself and others as we work together at a steady, client-led pace. I meet with adults in Sherman Oaks and online in English, creating a calm, focused space for reflection and real‑world practice between sessions. Sessions blend gentle mindfulness, clear psychoeducation and collaborative problem‑solving so you notice small shifts that build confidence and ease. This approach often suits adults seeking more balance, clearer boundaries and greater inner calm.
