Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. With a passion for supporting individuals, couples, and families to navigate the complexities of relationships and personal growth, I've dedicated my career to fostering a safe and nurturing environment where my clients can explore challenges, heal, and thrive. My approach is grounded in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a deep commitment to understanding each client's unique dynamics and strengths. Whether addressing communication issues, conflict resolution, emotional intimacy, or personal development, I aim to empower my clients to achieve greater harmony, understanding, and fulfillment in their lives and relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In their first session with me, clients can anticipate a warm and supportive atmosphere where they're encouraged to discuss their reasons for seeking therapy, their goals, and any immediate concerns. This initial meeting is centered around establishing a foundation of trust and understanding, highlighting the collaborative nature of our therapeutic relationship. I will explain the therapy process, confidentiality, and how we can work together to address their needs. Clients are invited to share at their comfort level, setting the stage for future sessions where we'll delve deeper into their challenges and aspirations. The aim is for clients to leave this session feeling heard, understood, and optimistic about the journey ahead, with a clear sense of how therapy can support their path to well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My key strengths as a therapist include empathetic listening, creating a non-judgmental environment, and a deep knowledge of enhancing communication among families and couples. Through empathy, I can form a deep connection with my clients, ensuring they feel acknowledged and valued. Establishing trust and understanding is fundamental to the therapy I provide. I am dedicated to fostering an open space where clients can freely express their thoughts and emotions, promoting a setting conducive to healing and personal growth. Furthermore, my proficiency in communication strategies aids in dissolving obstacles, facilitating healthier and more positive exchanges. These capabilities, alongside my commitment to applying evidence-based methods and pursuing ongoing professional growth, equip me to effectively assist my clients in overcoming their difficulties and meeting their therapeutic objectives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to be an invaluable tool, particularly in its ability to empower clients to recognize and reshape detrimental thought patterns and behaviors. The most rewarding aspect has been witnessing clients gain the skills to challenge their negative self-beliefs and assumptions, significantly improving their mental health and daily functioning. By collaboratively setting goals and utilizing tailored exercises, such as cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments, clients learn to apply these techniques outside of sessions, fostering resilience and self-efficacy. The transformation observed in clients, from feeling overwhelmed by their circumstances to managing and overcoming their challenges, underscores CBT's effectiveness and positive impact on my therapeutic practice.
On average, Optum clients pay $0-$75
