About

Hello there! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my bachelors from Emory University and my masters from Pepperdine University and have been practicing for 19 years. I help clients struggling with identifying thoughts and feelings, emotional regulation, communication skills to feel heard/understood and respected, build healthy self-esteem and coping skills they tend to share with others.
