About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the state of California. I have vast knowledge working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, phase of life, and/or relationship conflict issues. My clients range from students learning to navigate college to adults learning to navigate retirement. Wherever they are in their life, I always consider it a blessing to walk that road with them.

My approach is to meet the client where he or she is and develop a safe space for sharing, exploring, and discovering one’s own truth. I mainly work from a Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral perspective. Considering that each individual is different, I tailor interventions to meet the specific need of the client.

I believe the client is the expert of their own truth, and the therapist is the navigator to assist the client in discovering that truth. As the two embark upon this journey together, the client begins to break down barriers and open new doors to reaching their fullest potential. As a therapist, I consider it a privilege to be on this journey with each client that grants me this permission.

So let's begin the journey!
