I am a licensed therapist in California with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
During our first session, we will simply get to know each other (e.g. what to expect from therapy/your expectations from therapy; treatment history; likes/dislikes of therapy, etc.) - this will ensure this is truly a good working relationship.
My greatest strengths as a provider is meeting people where they are! This means, as a therapist, I will approach our sessions at your pace. Remember: This is your life and you are in the driving seat!
I enjoy working with client's of varyings ages, genders, ethnicity, and backgrounds. My experience was refined by working with individuals between the ages of 13-70. Additionally, my clients are committed to therapy and will make every effort to show up, and participate to get the best out of each session. Nevertheless, I realize motivation takes time, and can be a challenge for some. So, a willing participant and an open-mind is all you need!

Thank you for seeing us today. I really appreciate how you talked to both my husband and I. I liked how you saw both sides of the story and not just one. Thank you for referring us further to someone who can have similar point of view as you.
