I believe providing a compassionate and supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. My training in integrative therapy equips me with a diverse set of tools to tailor treatment to each individuals unique needs and goals. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, fostering trust and safety. I work from a stance that you have the answers, and together we create a space that allows you to deepen your understanding of yourself and others, increasing insight and leading to decisions that support your growth, improve relationships and meet your goals.

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

In the first session, we will focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance. I'll explain the therapy process, discuss confidentiality, and address any questions or concerns you might have. We'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and set initial goals together. This session is about getting to know you and creating a safe, trusting environment for your healing journey.

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

My strengths as a therapist include my focus on creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients. I draw from various modalities to tailor treatment to individual needs and goals. My empathy, humor, and genuine care for my clients helps to build a strong therapeutic alliance that supports growth, healing and acceptance.

I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of clinical counseling experience. I have worked closely with individuals struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, life stage transitions, parenting challenges and relationship issues. I've helped children and adults navigate change, understand themselves better and feel more confident about their decisions. My therapeutic approach blends CBT, and humanistic therapies with a psychodynamic stance.
