Hello and welcome! I am so glad you took this step toward good self-care. I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 10 years of experience working as a mental and behavioral health therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, sleeping disorders, relationship issues, parenting concerns, career and college-life challenges, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, and those who have PTSD or other trauma related concerns. I have also helped many people work through difficult phase-of-life challenges and health-related anxiety and depression. My therapy style is positive, encouraging, and interactive. I believe in treating all people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Informed Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic, and always Client-Centered. I will tailor my treatment and coping skills training to meet your unique and specific needs, as my valued client, who has trusted me to help you move forward in your life.
I have been through my own family experiences with mental health challenges, therapy, and recovery and I have learned the realities of how difficult it can be when adequate treatment is not available. I will work to help anyone work toward the recovery they desire and deserve. Everyone deserves the chance to experience peace of mind, joy, and happiness, as well as to realize their own true value. It is my desire to help you find this in yourself.
It takes courage to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step or just need to talk about what "taking that step" means, then please reach out to me. I can discuss this with you and I am here to guide, support, and empower you through your journey.
I look forward to working with you!
