I am a compassionate professional with dual certification as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Board Certified Behavior Analyst in the states of California & Indiana. I have experience working with all different ages and types of individuals, from neurodiverse children & adults, to people with anxiety, depression, life changes, or people who just feel overwhelmed and stuck. I love helping others be the best version of themselves.
During the first session, I will answer any questions you might have and will explain my approach to therapy, and discuss confidentiality to create a safe space. We will discuss your therapy goals and what prompted you to reach out for help now. We might not dive into deep work right away, but instead engage in collaborative conversation, where both you and I can begin to build a working relationship and establish a sense of trust and comfort.
My approach is rooted in empathy, mindfulness & evidence-based techniques, tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. I help you identify and use your strengths while providing tools to move forward and grow in a healthy manner.
I love working with people of all ages and backgrounds who are neurodiverse. I also enjoy helping others through life transitions, and those with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem.
I believe that your thoughts, feelings and behavior are all connected. I teach clients skills to reframe their negative cognitions and to focus on the neutral or positive thoughts. I help clients change using CBT tools to help them think, move, and feel better.
