Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Master's from California State University, Bakersfield, and I have a Ph.D. in MFT from Amridge University (Montgomery, AL). I have been seeing clients since 2013. In my systems-based work, I look for root causes of emotional reactivity and maladaptive behaviors that interfere with healthy relationship functioning.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I recognize that finding the right therapist is not easy. Picking up the phone to set up an appointment and then opening up to someone new takes courage. I view therapy as something sacred, and if we are a good fit, I welcome the opportunity to join you in your journey toward inner peace, healing, and growth.
