Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I received my Masters from Loyola Marymount University. I have a passion for working with young and older adults in finding understanding, balance, and acceptance in their lives. I aim to provide therapeutic support by exploring and solidifying identity, developing coping skills, and finding change one is looking for in their life.

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

In our first session together, we’ll start with introductions, and then explore specific challenges you are facing. Together we will come up with goals that you would like to accomplish during our time together. This information will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I allow you to vent and provide you with a safe place to be yourself without judgement. My goal is to help you reach your goals in a supportive, empathetic, and compassionate space where you feel safe.

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

Some of my strengths are my ability to connect and relate to others, identify and utilize clients' natural resilience and strength.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My treatment approach focuses on depression, anxiety, coping skills, relationships and interpersonal conflict, and stress management related to life changes. I approach therapy from a humanistic and client-centered perspective: focusing on being accepting and non judgmental, while trying to understand someone’s life experience current and past as it relates to challenges they are facing. genuineness, empathy, and helping clients connect their thoughts, feelings, and actions. I tend to come from a strengths based approach in order to build upon skills that already exist, while developing others along the way.
