Hello! I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with just over 5 years of experience working as a direct care clinician. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, parenting problems, relationship struggles, Autism spectrum and ADHD, as well as assisting many people process different forms of trauma and abuse.
My therapy style is warm, empathetic and engaging. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity while supporting them in their journey to healing. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, client centered and strengths based therapeutic styles. I will tailor our time to meet your treatment goals and specific needs.
I understand it can be difficult to ask for help and begin to take steps toward change and movement toward living your best life. When you are ready to take the first step toward change, I am here to support, motivate and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
