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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
