Licensed to practice in California and accepts 27 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Autism, Self Esteem and 6 more.
Do you feel lost, hopeless, or stuck? Do you find yourself worried and self-conscious? Are you experiencing conflict with family members, co-workers, or other important relationships in your life? Are you a parent wanting extra support? You are not alone. My style is nurturing, kind, empathetic, and patient. I am here to establish a safe environment where you will be respected, heard, and validated. Therapy sessions are tailored to your individual needs. I meet clients where they are at and work at their pace to achieve hope, empowerment, and growth. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping teens and adults overcome struggles, achieve transformation, and live a meaningful life. I developed a passion early on for working with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum and supporting parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children. In addition, I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions and interpersonal relationships.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me to get to know you and create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having my own son with autism gives me a unique perspective to support parents in embracing and uncovering their child’s potential. I am experienced in supporting families in adjusting and navigating what to do after receiving a diagnosis, connecting with their neurodivergent children, supporting additional siblings, managing stress on a marriage, and handling the unique challenges of a neurodivergent child.
I specialize in supporting parents of neurodiverse children, particularly those on the autism spectrum, as they navigate the challenges and joys of parenting. I also enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and those adjusting to life transitions. Additionally, I am passionate about helping clients build self-confidence and develop a stronger sense of self.
