(she/her)
i am an MFT practicing in California. I have 25 years experience in many different settings, but currently am working with individual adults. I think therapy is collaborative and have a warm, engaging yet CBT infused eclectic approach. I help clients clarify, work though and release old patterns, family system influences and feel more and more like they are being their authentic self, navigating all sort of circumstances with self-validation, compassion and clarity. Exploring what triggers self criticism or feelings of abandonment, frustrations can lead to new ways of working these through.
In our first session we'll begin with brief introductions, then dive right into the specific challenges you are facing. Together, we'll craft a plan to address them. In this session you should feel that you have been seen and heard in a way that makes our space safe. a place where you can open up about issues that are not meant to be carried alone.
Clients have told me they feel that they could tell me anything, discuss things they have never felt safe to discuss. I deal with trauma often and can hear about extreme trauma, physical and emotional.
I love working with clients that have never ventured inro therapy, but I'm also excited to work with clients who have had years of therapy. Client usually stay with me after our first meetings, and together we can build a safe space to work through layers of the issues you are dealing with.

Upon meeting for the first session she seems to have enough wisdom and compassion to guide me through my challenges. She listened patiently and actively. I am hopeful things will go well.
