Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters and Doctorate from Argosy University in Southern California. I have been Practicing in Mental Health for over 10 years. I have worked with children, adolescent to adults from behavior issue, family to working with those individuals incarcerated.

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

In our first session, I would like to start with brief introductions, then inquired about your specific needs. This information will help me create and together tailor a plan for us work through together in follow up sessions.

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

Working with a ray of individual from children to adults, and cultures, I have developed the ability to connect with individuals. I like to believe that I “meet the individuals where they are” providing them that safe place to be themselves while allowing them the ability to open up to their needs and desire.

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

I have always had a passion for working with the youth that struggles with finding their own identity, being lost in the world either due to being in the foster system or other obstacles that they may have encounter. My clients have been able to understand their worth, achieve goals they did not think they could meet. They were able to reach a level of autonomy while building and learning daily skills. The youth have learned how to utilize coping tool and increase positive communication which aid in improving relational-family problems.
