Hi! I'm a professional counselor licensed in California and Arizona. I have 15 years of experience and work well with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships and life transitions. I enjoy helping people recognize their choices and actualize their potential. I maintain objectivity while utilizing a Socratic method to help people explore their circumstances and options. I offer a supportive connection and strengths-based approach to treatment.

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

During our first session, you will have the opportunity to tell me what you've been experiencing and how it has affected you. I will use this time and information to tailor my approach and treatment plan to your needs. The time spent will be conversational and we will both have the space to ask questions and get to know more about you and what brings you to therapy.

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

I try to cultivate presence with those I work with and therefore promote a feeling of validation and understanding. I listen and empathize but also provide objective feedback people can use to improve their circumstances.

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

I work best with adults who want to understand themselves better and are motivated to change.
