Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from Antioch University and have been practicing for over 9 years. I enjoy helping people become the best versions of themselves. I believe in allowing my clients to guide me while teaching them how to ride the waves of life's difficulties. I believe everyone has the answers they are looking for within themselves; I am only a sounding board designed to guide.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with getting to know each other. What brought you here? What are you needing or looking for? This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Over the last 9 years of providing therapeutic services in multiple settings, I have found that the most helpful piece of therapy is relationship. I believe in creating strong rapport with my clients as that is the foundation of growth. After all, we can't trust someone we don't know. I believe that through a healthy, professional relationship, people will feel understood, motivated, and ultimately experience healing and growth. I truly enjoy helping people unveil their inner strengths while also using evidence-based interventions to promote their insight.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have enjoyed helping young adults find their footing and inner strengths when they feel they have none. I believe that everyone has their own unique strengths and motivations; I'm just here to help them find it.
