LMFT, 3 years of experience
Are you tired of going to a therapist who just "listens"? Most of my clients find success given my authentic approach, extensive educational background, evidence-based approaches and an environment for growth. I'm not your average therapist! You can sit with me. Through life's ups and downs, I'll guide you through learning, creating and solidifying skills that will help progress you through not only high performance but healthy mental functioning and improving your overall relationships. I understand the unique needs of each family/individual and tailor my approach to best fit my clients. One size does not fit all. My background at Pepperdine University prepared me for the diverse populations I would encounter as a therapist and gave me the confidence to assist in almost any area of concern. I've worked with children/adolescents in school settings, in-patient mental health rehabilitation facilities as well as outpatient mental health facilities. I specialize in treating individuals with depression, anxiety, relationships and high-performance. I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist. I also have a background in behavioral therapy as a registered behavioral technician. Life is complicated. It takes courage to reach out for help and support. When we feel the most vulnerable it is even harder to take any risks. If you are ready to make a change and think working with me might be the guide you need, please reach out to see if we may be a good fit Availability for Adults 18-45*
The first session is really just about us getting to know each other and making sure it feels like a good fit. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what you’d like to work on, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. You’ll also get a feel for my style and if it’s something that works for you. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and to leave with a clear sense that this is a space where we’ll work together on what matters most to you.
What sets my approach apart is the balance of insight and action. I help clients recognize and break unhelpful patterns, while also teaching practical skills they can use right away. Together, we work on building stronger communication, managing anxiety and depression with tangible tools, and increasing both self-awareness and social awareness. I aim to create not just relief from symptoms, but also hope, motivation, and lasting change.
I work with young adults and adults (18–45) who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship struggles. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, and they’re looking for support, clarity, and tools they can actually use in daily life. I enjoy working with this age group because it’s such a meaningful time to build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and create changes that last.
