Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out in California. I have a Masters of Science in Counseling- Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling option along with a Pupil Personnel Services Credential. I have been practicing for over 10 years and have been in the school setting working with adolescents and families for over 7 years. I enjoy working with adolescents and firmly believe in early intervention to help children become successful later on in life.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together we will start by getting to know each other, explain my background and approach, and answer any questions you may have. We will also discuss what is bringing you to therapy and the struggles you are facing so that we can create a plan to best support you in future sessions.

Having worked with adolescents for over 10 years, I have been able to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients in order to get to the root of challenges and work towards growth.
