Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist based in California. I received my Master's degree from National University and have a total of 10 years' experience. I help adults learn more about themselves so they can have a better quality of life. I love to stay active on my free time by enjoying outdoor activities, working out, and seeing my loved ones.

I utilize a positive theoretical orientation which assumes that all individuals possess an innate desire for well-balanced emotional/mental health. I believe a person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints that are holding them back. I find that everyone needs a slightly different approach to accomplish these goals, so I adjust in technique for each specific challenge. I truly enjoy the experience of guiding my clients through this process and consider it a privilege to play such an important role in a person's life. “Crying does not indicate that you are weak.
