About me

I am a licensed professional clinical counselor licensed in California with over seven years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, personality disorders, and substance use. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, EMDR and TRM, and dialectical behavioral counseling. It takes courage to reach out and take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will discuss expectations from therapy and the different ways therapy can help improve your life!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have seven years of experience working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma. I have worked with clients who are survivors of Human Trafficking for years and have experience with domestic violence survivors as well. I also have extensive training and experience with working with substance usage disorders and other addictions.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I thrive working with individuals who have struggled with years of trauma related symptoms. My clients are eager to improve their mood and effects caused by trauma, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their day to day experiences.
