Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Chapman University in California and have been practicing for over 16 years. I practice psychotherapy using an Existential-Humanistic approach, which focuses on the promotion of personal growth, self-awareness, and insight. A large portion of my clinical work has been dedicated to assisting adolescents and their families through trauma and tragedy. I also have worked extensively with adults going through major life transitions, parenting concerns, interpersonal difficulties, and relationship conflicts.

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

Our first session together will be an opportunity to build the foundation of a therapeutic alliance and will involve gathering of your history. We will talk about the reasons that you have sought out therapeutic services and discuss concerns, barriers, and current support systems.

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

I am extremely passionate about helping others; I believe it is essential to connect with others on a deep level in order to help them feel understood, validated, and supported.

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

I really love to meet my clients where they are at and get to a deep understanding of their presenting concerns to help them work effectively towards their treatment goals. My work with you will focus on how you communicate with yourself and with others; looking for ways to foster increasingly beneficial habits, patterns, self-esteem, and an effective communication style.
