Hello. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I have been licensed since July of 2006 and was in therapy practice through 2015. I have worked most recently in behavioral health administrative public service since that time and am now coming back to my passion of assisting people through the transformative power of therapy. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & coping with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is when I provide some basic information about the benefits and limitations of tele-therapy and more specifically on the expectation and exceptions to confidentiality. However, the first session is really about getting to know each other. I begin with an introduction of myself and my therapy approach. I then ask questions in order to get a sense of who you are, what your values are, what brought you into therapy and what your expectations are of the process. This will assist in the develop of a tailored plan and some goals for us to work on in follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have years of experience as a person-centered, strength-based and supportive therapist. My approach is through a lens of positivity and empathy. I believe that each of us has the power within ourselves to actualize our true potential. I have the privilege to be able to join with and empower people to discover their unique strengths and resiliency to find their best paths forward.

I empower and assist individuals in examining how the way they think determines the way they feel and react to the world around them.
