My objective is to help people gain insight and live more peaceful lives and I believe all people have strength and resilience within them and I will work to assist you in finding yours. I have a Master's degree in Counseling from California State University Los Angeles, specializing in school-based family counseling and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I work with individuals to help them function better within the complex systems of family and society. I have experience working as a psychiatric social worker with a diverse spectrum of people struggling with issues ranging from acute psychotic episodes to addiction, depression, and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will have brief introductions before we dive into a further exploration of the issues you are struggling with. From there we will discuss treatment goals and develop a plan to move forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I feel that my biggest strength is that I am not a "cookie cutter" therapist and that is typically what I hear from my clients as something that they enjoy about working with me. I will ask tough questions when necessary and reflect observations in a supportive way.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
We often have times in life that we feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious. My ideal client is someone that is eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make that goal a reality.

VirtualMy treatment methods
EMDR
I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) because it is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps clients process and heal from past trauma by targeting distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity. By utilizing bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows clients to reprocess painful experiences in a safe and structured way, promoting relief from symptoms and fostering long-term emotional resilience.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic approach to therapy because every client is unique, and integrating techniques from various therapeutic modalities allows me to tailor treatment to their specific needs, strengths, and goals. By drawing from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness, I create a flexible and personalized framework that supports lasting growth and healing.
