LMFT, 10 years of experience
Hello and Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I have received my Masters and Doctorate from California School of Professional Psychology. I help adults and children struggling with mental health concerns and addictions to improve various aspects of their life, such as interpersonal relationships, and employment. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where a person can be themself.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a specific plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with adults and children with Severe and Persistent Mental Disorders the last 6 years, I have been able to help clients identify and understand the root causes of their challenges and create a collaborative plan with results we can track and measure.
I truly enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities. My clients usually become inspired and hopeful and they respond well to my strength-based positive approach. Many come in broken and without hope. But they are often able to bring about change with strategies which they can apply immediately.
