I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)! I am based in Orange County California but work with clients throughout the state via telehealth. I specialize in working with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodivergent adult folks. I specialize in building better relationships, decrease anxiety, build confidence, set boundaries and communicate effectively, all while leaning into your authenticity. I work from an affirming feminist and decolonized lens that acknowledges complex family systems, dynamics, and the intersectionality of your identity.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During the first session with me, you can expect lots of questions! We are strangers and I want to get to know who you are and what you are looking for in the time we spend together. This will look like a standard intake you might receive with other appointments as well as additional information that will be helpful in our work together! Don't worry, this won't be a one-way street, and anything you feel like you might need to know about me there will be space for.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider I believe it is most important to develop a strong rapport. I am here to see and hear you as your full self. In doing so, I strive to understand your experience and your story to better support you in getting where it is you desire. You are the expert in your life, I am the guide to support you in getting from where you are to where you want to be!

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with both adult individuals and couples 18+ including 65+. I work with folks living with anxiety, depression, and trauma, going through life transitions, and wanting to strengthen identity and confidence. My specialty is relational therapy for those looking to strengthen communication (with partners, family, in-laws, children, etc) while creating boundaries and having comfort in showing up as they are authentic.
