I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, born and raised in California. I received my Masters degree from Brandman University. I have experience working with adults, children, and families struggling with a wide range of challenges, such as, depression, anxiety, trauma, work/academic issues, and relationship conflicts. I also have experience in grief and loss, as well as emotional/behavioral challenges in children, teens, and adults.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, my focus is to get to know you, your goals for therapy, some your background, and for you to get to know me, my approach, and how I work with clients. I hope to begin to establish that this time is focused on creating a safe place for you to process, ask questions, practice skills, and explore.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I work collaboratively with my clients, and work to empower and nurture every individual’s strengths. I believe education is a primary tool for change. Through education and practice of useful skills, I believe anyone can develop new tools to alleviate their emotional distress, problematic behaviors, and improve their overall well-being. It is a process, and it won't happen overnight, but I am here to walk along side you.
