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.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our 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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

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.
