LMFT, 19 years of experience
Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I have been in practice for 19 years and have expertise in child welfare, family counseling, substance abuse and recovery, parenting, and early childhood development. I enjoy working with adults, children, couples, and families to help them navigate life’s challenges so they can live more satisfying lives.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, discuss the expectations of the therapeutic process, along with its risks and benefits, and then dive into the specific challenges that brought you to seek help. Lastly, we will work together to create an individualized plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with adults, youth, and children for the past 19 years, I offer a dynamic approach that will explore your unique life experiences and uncover insights that will empower you to cultivate healthier patterns of communication and relationships.
My experience in community mental health has given me a passion for helping those who have experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse. My clients often begin therapy overwhelmed or anxious about the course of their lives but are ready to make changes to cope and then thrive.
Therapy is a very personal process that requires compassion and support. In therapy, we will ask ourselves difficult questions, reflecting on our truth, meaning, feelings, and actions while we create pathways for change. I create a space built on trust that will allow for reflection, accountability, and hope. I work with individuals from all genders, ethnicities, and religious affiliations.
Existential theory has been the core of my clinical practice. In therapy, we will utilize Existentialism to highlight personal empowerment and promote choice, change, and acceptance.

I loved how comfortable she made me and my wife feel to answer some tough questions. We loved her perspective and experience from working directly with other families dealing with addiction/substance abuse. It was great to know that there are immediate actions I could take to deal with my issues in a more positive way. Her willingness to go above and beyond for our healing process is noted and very appreciated.
