About

Hello and welcome! I am a lived experience licensed marriage and family therapist who is also a post doctorate Ph.D. researcher in clinical psychology and integral health biophysics (life physics). I am a mom, a daughter and a survivor of trauma who understands the lived experiences of adversity and its impact on the whole person. For that reason, I chose to become a researcher in clinical psychology and biophysics, and to incorporate this knowledge into my practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist [MFT #113252]. I utilize a needs-based approach that is specifically individualized to the uniqueness of the person. A variety of assessments are offered to assist the individual in objectively matching needs to solution-focused strategies. You are the expert of you, and because of that, my role in therapy is as a collaborator with you every step of the way. A treatment plan is co-created with you that provides strategies that are research proven or evidence-based. I specialize in a variety of evidence-based practices, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care (e.g., seeking safety), motivational interviewing, as well as 12-Step facilitation, and other proven therapeutic approaches. I am available for individual therapy (youth and adults), conjoint therapy (couples, parenting), family therapy, and group therapy.
