My commitment is to provide a compassionate, genuine atmosphere, which is safe and encourages emotional growth and healing. This allows one to explore deep seeded beliefs, feelings, and natural responses while providing a pathway to embrace change. I’m dedicated to supporting a positive impact on the clients I serve. I’m passionate about working with children, youth, and families. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University, then went on and pursued a master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an Empathies on Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco. I‘ve had the privilege of receiving extensive training and experience. As a result, I have a profound understanding of the family dynamics which influence individuals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship we create is the foundation of our work together. My priority is to create an authentic connection based on trust and understanding.

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

During the initial session, clients will go over a family history, explore their needs, and also begin to get to know your therapist, and get a feel to see if it's a good fit.

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

Healing is a journey, that takes a great deal of nurturing and dedication. I truthfully enjoy my work and feel privileged to be able to connect with people in a therapeutic relationship. Trust is vital in this process, which my style promotes, with compassion, empathy, and with my skills, talent and knowledge. We all have our own stories and need a safe place to unravel our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, on this road to healing and recovery. My niche is my natural ability to connect with others.

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

I've got a great deal of expertise working with adolescent, transitional age youth and families. Also dealing with people who have had past traumas and dealing with the internal pain of it.
