Hi! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. I received an M.S. in Counseling/Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2016. I have 7 years of experience treating a variety of mental health conditions (including anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder) and assisting clients in navigating major life changes and challenges. I am also EMDR trained.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first meeting, I like to get to know you and your specific symptoms or challenges. Then we can discuss your temperament and tolerance so that I can choose a treatment modality that will fit your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a warm, empathetic, and supportive therapist whose #1 goal is to get you feeling better. I will support you, challenge you, empower you, and offer information and insight to assist you on your healing journey.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with a variety of clients who are experiencing interruptions in their daily functioning related to depression or anxiety, or are having difficulty navigating life challenges and changes.
