Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. Don't be fooled by my license, I don't only work with couples and families. As a matter of fact, I work mostly with individuals. I have been in the field for 6 years working with teens, young adults and adults in their mid-life. I help clients struggling with anxiety, stress, life changes and transitions, and depression/loss. Together we will find solutions, understanding, and growth so that you can become the best version of yourself.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will see if I am a good fit for you through starting to build our relationship. I will also ask questions (probably a lot at first) to see what challenges you are facing and what outcomes and solutions you are hoping you will find by coming to counseling. With this information, we will create a plan on how best we can use our time together to achieve the things you want for the most ideal outcome from our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
The foundation of my practice, no matter what your need is, starts with empathy, warmth, and allowing you to be in the driver's seat. My training and experience has afforded me the opportunity to gain skills and techniques, and I will offer these to you, but ultimately, it is you who will be in control and determine where we go in our time together. I will challenge you when appropriate, but also be there to encourage you and validate and/or affirm you as you grow and change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with professional adults and teens alike! No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, I believe that together, we will find the skills, tools and answers you need to feel better and that you hare making steps toward living a life that you feel fulfilled and has purpose. I don't focus on a diagnosis, but what you need to get you to where you want to be to feel better, live happier, and have more overall enjoyment in life.
