Hello, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California with over a decade of experience. I approach each counseling session with a compassionate heart and a commitment to support you on your journey to healing. I have dedicated my career to helping people navigate life's challenges while providing a safe space for self-exploration and understanding. If you are looking to make some changes and want more clarity in your life, then make a difference and schedule a session with me today.

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

In our first session, we will review background information, family history, purpose of treatment, and create a treatment plan together that is most effective for you.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Treatment methods I utilize in my practice are Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Family Systems, Person Centered, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic approaches depending on what is most effective for each individual and their presenting clinical factors.

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

My goal as your therapist is to find a balance between being encouraging, kind and supportive, yet challenging to make the changes necessary for you to achieve your goals. I will create the space needed for you to process your thoughts, explore your feelings, gain new perspectives and find inner strength to discover solutions that work for you.

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

I am empathic and genuine, which helps each individual feel safe and comfortable. I am able to connect with my clients on a deeper level that provides a rich and productive experience.
