I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from Argosy University and have been in the field for 12 years. I have experience in both residential and outpatient settings, treating adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I am confident in treating a wide array of diagnoses and needs including depression, anxiety, life transitions, perinatal and postpartum difficulties, behavioral issues, academic and employment challenges, grief, and trauma.
I consider it a privilege whenever someone welcomes me to become a part of their journey. My goal is to bring warmth, compassion, authenticity, humor, calm, and openness into each session. My approach is collaborative, so we will work together in establishing what each session will look like. As we work together we will discuss your current challenges, and barriers to your goals.
Some of my strengths as a Therapist lie in my ability to meet clients where they are, fostering a safe and non judgmental environment. I am committed to understanding each client's unique experiences and perspectives, which allows me to build trust and rapport effectively. By creating this supportive space, I empower clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, facilitating their journey toward personal growth and positive change.
I love working with individuals ready to get back into the driver's seat of their life. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about what is next.
Systematically addressing the cognitive and behavioral aspects of one's problems, aiming to assist to help clients develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, leading to an improved emotional well being.
Helping individuals re-frame their personal stories and recognize their strengths, skills and values. This approach empowers clients by allowing them to separate themselves from their problems and view their life narratives through a more positive and constructive lens
Goal directed, future oriented approach that emphasizes clients' strengths and resources. This method is particularly powerful for fostering quick and tangible progress by concentrating on solutions rather than problems.
