About me

Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in California. For the past 10 years I have worked with children and adults to address issues with trauma, self esteem, anger management, crisis management, suicide ideation, relationships, anxiety and depression. In Addition, I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Functional Family Therapy and as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, you can expect for us to start with introductions, examine what lead you to therapy, and conduct an assessment ( symptoms, behaviors, strengths, concerns, past traumas, mental health history and mental status exam. This will allow me to understand more about your needs, current coping skills and any past trauma. Lastly, we will discuss goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist who has worked with several populations. I find my greatest strength is being eclectic. I do not believe that one size fits all. Therefore, I strive towards creating individual environments that each client can thrive and achieve their identified goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults who are eager to improve their mental health but need support in developing coping skills .

Also empowering I had a different therapist before her and knew that, that therapist wasn’t going to be the one for me I needed someone that is willingly to listen to me and provide me real feedback on me , my life , my decisions and how to handle the people around me and all while still being able to continue to keep it together and she does that . She is overly supportive, encouraging, kind and caring. And still gives me the TRUTH it’s like she knows what I’m thinking at times.

She really meets my wife and I where we're at and works on solutions in a holistic manner, adjusting advice and tools to work with each of our own limitations.
