Hi! I am a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a master's degree from National University and 10 years of clinical experience. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating mental health challenges. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and calming environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and become the best version of themselves.
During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another and discussing what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, personal history, and the goals you hope to achieve so I can better understand your unique needs. The initial session is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and determine whether we're a good fit.
For me the greatest attributes are being a good/active listener, holding each client in unconditional regard, and being respectful of each individuals healing process.
I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults through life transitions and navigating the stressors/adjustments they are experiencing. I enjoy working with patients eager to improve and learn the coping tools that will help them achieve their goals/challenges in life.
