About
Hello, I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University of Northridge and a Master’s of Science degree in Counseling Psychology from California Lutheran University. During my clinical studies I took a yearlong specialization course in trauma and PTSD. My greatest takeaway was that trauma and emotionally overwhelming events can disrupt the mind-body connection, which may lead hopelessness, disconnection from others, and disconnection from self. Traumatic events can be associated with a loss of trust and safety in the world. Healing from trauma is most possible within healing relationships.
I have worked within the school district, intensive outpatient programs, & residential treatment settings. I have gained experience working with teens, families, couples, LGBTQ issues, and sexual health. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. I am passionate about helping others develop a patient and kind relationship with themselves, identifying the root cause of their suffering, & creating meaning in their lives.
