LMFT, 14 years of experience
Hi, I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I received my Masters from Argosy University and have been practicing for over 15 years. I specialize in helping individuals, couples and families learn about and overcome problems they're experiencing by developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. I've worked extensively with individuals and families experiencing substance use disorders, mood and anxiety problems, severe mental health challenges, family conflict, low self-esteem, and issues with life satisfaction. By using an integrative approach I provide personalized treatment to help my clients overcome their challenges and improve their mental well-being. My hope is I can help all my clients grow to become the best versions of themselves.
I'm an open and friendly therapist. Hopefully we'll get a chance to know each other better. I'll try to understand why you're coming to therapy now and some of the challenges you experiencing in life. By the end of the first session I'll have an idea of where we can begin working together and have enough information to start developing a plan of treatment.
I'm kind and understanding and bring a genuine warmth and empathy into the room. I believe everyone is able to grow and heal from anything they're currently experiencing in life. I worked with hundreds of clients over the course of my career and have a deep understanding on how people function and how psychotherapy can create positive and lasting change.
I love working with and connecting with clients at all stages of life. I have extensive experience working with individuals, families and couples. I work best with clients that are open-minded, motivated for change, and are seeking a more balanced and integrated approach to their mental health and well-being.
As an integrative therapist I combine techniques and theories from different therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and humanistic therapy, to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each of my clients.
