Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute and have been practicing for more than 15 years. My desire is for you to experience mental and emotional wellness by prioritizing your mental health and self-care. I am here to assist you in feeling good about who you are and who you want to become.

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

In our first session, I will answer any questions you may have, gather background information about you then focus on what brings you in and what you hope to accomplish in our time together. This may take more than one session, but it will help me to create an individualized plan for our future sessions.

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

With over 15 years of practice, I bring knowledge and experience working with clients from multiple backgrounds with varying concerns. But my passion for people and how they feel about who they are is my greatest strength. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their feelings in an environment that encourages new thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to help you achieve your goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with adults who desire to be the best version of themselves. My clients tend to find themselves repeating old patterns and replaying old messages. In our time together, they begin to understand and appreciate the power of change which leads to growth.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I believe all clients are motivated to grow if they so desire. Through a humanistic approach, I provide my clients with empathy, unconditional positive regard and belief in the their ability to achieve their full potential.

Narrative

I believe everyone has a story and that story helps form who we are and how we show up in the world. Through a post-modern approach, I assist clients in rewriting their story and reframing its meaning in an effort to achieve their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I believe thoughts lead to feelings and feelings lead to behaviors. Through a cognitive behavioral approach, I help clients identify and manage their thoughts while processing their feelings with the intention of changing maladaptive behaviors.
