(she/her)
Hello – I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of California. This is a second career that I started after receiving my Masters in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. I have been practicing for over 7-years with community based mental health services including County agencies. As a client centered therapist, I utilize a strengths-based, transparent approach to coming alongside others in their individual life journey. I have enjoyed working in the mental health field for almost 9 years using evidence-based practices and collaborating with other professionals such as psychiatrists and psychologists. I have a strong network of fellow therapists and like them, I focus on the positive to assist individuals and families achieve their goals.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During your first session, you will share your reasons for reaching out for mental health support. I will provide you with my approach and you will determine if I am a good match for you. It's common to meet with a few therapists before finding the right one.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Family Systems Therapy is my strength. As a clinician, I view the family as a system, not one person as a problem. Change occurs by helping client/family view the system as the problem rather than the individual.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with all age groups who are eager to understand themselves and eager to improve the life they are living. I also enjoy working with clients that struggle with a mental health diagnosis and want to live a full life.
