I graduated with an MA in Clinical Psychology from Illinois School of Professional Psychology in 2007. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working in California.
I work from a cognitive behavioral perspective to help clients identify and overcome personal obstacles, improve relationships and reach professional goals. I also practice trauma informed care and infuse mindfulness into my work. I support increased awareness of thoughts and feelings in the moment, acceptance of them as they are without judgment and moving towards responding with a wise mind instead of an emotional one.
I see my role as a therapist as more of a coach, not an expert. You are the expert on your life. I can offer support, non-judgmental observations, new information and skills to help you along your path.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Anger management
