I am licensed in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My approach is Holistic Therapy, focusing on the mind, body and soul. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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

In our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. We'll start by getting to know each other and discussing their reasons for seeking therapy, as well as any goals or expectations they have for working together. I'll provide an overview of my therapeutic approach and answer any questions they may have about the process. We'll also explore their strengths, values, and any challenges they are facing, laying the foundation for our collaborative work. By the end of the session, they can expect to feel heard, understood, and supported, with a clearer sense of how therapy can help them on their journey towards healing and growth.
