Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California and I have been practicing for 11 years. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to process your interpersonal struggles. I am passionate about the work I do and I enjoy watching my clients live happier and more fulfilling lives. Hablo Español!

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

In our first session, we'll simply get to know each other! We'll start with brief introductions and answer any questions you may have. We will then dive into what brought you in to see me and create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is knowing when to push and when not to. It's easy to meet and talk about the "weather" but no real work will happen unless 1) you are ready and 2) I know when to gently encourage you to break cycles, make changes, take risks. You are in charge of your life and ultimately decide what is best for you, I'm here to shed some light, support, encourage, and walk beside you on your journey.

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

I enjoy working with diverse clients of all ages, ethnicities, races, faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations. I believe that a successful therapy experience consists of compatibility between the client and the therapist, a thorough assessment and diagnosis, and a mutual understanding of client's goals and expectations.
