Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from University of Phoenix. I have over 10 years of experience. I helped individuals make improvements in their overall functioning and live a more productive life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy. We will review past and present symptoms and behaviors, and set goals we will work on together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is my empathy and compassion. I know how difficult it can be to come to therapy, and I'm here for us to work together.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is the main framework from which I work with my clients. I use it to support a way of thinking, and allowing an individual to change their framework, improving future responses and interactions.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I enjoy asking the "miracle question." This allows us to explore how things could be different if a "miracle" happened, allowing an individual to see a brighter time within their life. We then can discuss how we move forward toward the "miracle."
