Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist based in Southern California. I received my MA in Marital and Family Therapy at Alliant International University, and I have been practicing therapy for the past five years. The primary topics I work on with my clients are grief, anxiety, trauma, and depression.

And, I use Compassion Based, Faith Based, CBT, and Narrative therapy to guide my clients toward healing.

First session

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then talk about what is on your mind for therapy and current challenges you are facing. From there, we can build a roadmap for what to expect for the rest of our session and beyond.

Strengths

My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I believe in creating space for healing, understanding, and helpful meaning-making to happen.

Ideal clients

I enjoy serving and building relationships with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I have had the great opportunity to work with teenagers, and young and older adults.

Treatment methods

Compassion-Focused

I have been using compassion focused therapy in my practice for the past four years. My practice revolves around an attitude of compassion and understanding. In our sessions, the goal is to get you to a place of understanding yourself, the world around you, and discover the possibilities of that.

First session down and he was able to pull out feelings that I've buried deep down in years. Very warm, sincere and kind. Already booked next session :)

From the very first session, I felt an immediate sense of comfort. Makes opening up feel natural and safe. They listen with genuine care and never make the conversation feel forced or clinical
