I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing for five years. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Development from Fresno Pacific University and went on to earn a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. I help individuals who are new mothers and those going through transitional life experiences find meaning in their stories as well as empowerment and healing.
Our first session will begin with introductions and an overview of the therapeutic process. We will then discuss recent circumstances and situations impacting your current mood in order to create goals for treatment moving forward in following sessions.
I have gained extensive experience working with children, families, and individuals particularly in trauma-focused therapy setting. With compassion and humor I aim to take a collaborative approach to support clients in overcoming challenges and achieving their goals.
I enjoy working with individuals transitioning into new roles in their lives. My client's are willing to gain insight and understanding as well as motivated to foster positive change. They often struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, low-self worth as well as feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and worry about failing those around them.
