As a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles, I have 15 years of experience helping clients navigate complex emotions and enhance their relationships. I typically work with professionals seeking support in areas such as romantic partnerships, parenting, relationships with parents, or workplace dynamics. To reach these relationship goals, in addition to improving communication and conflict resolution, usually it is necessary to help clients with managing anger, reducing anxiety, and overcoming periods of low mood.

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

In our initial session, we'll begin with brief introductions before focusing on the specific challenges you're encountering. This approach allows me to design a personalized plan for us to address in subsequent sessions. Feeling nervous or unsure is normal, especially if it's your first time in therapy. You are encouraged to ask any questions you might have about the therapy process or the therapist's approach. This can help clarify any uncertainties and build a foundation of trust.

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

Having worked in multiple professions, having personally parented a very difficult kid, and having cared for a parent with dementia helps me understand many challenges people face in their mid-life and how to get through them.
