Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Audie, and I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, relationship dynamics, professional development, and family conflicts. Welcome to my practice.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and graduated with my master's in marriage and family therapy from USC Rossier School of Education.

My approach is collaborative, affirming, and tailored to your unique needs. I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients and those in monogamous, ethical non-monogamy, polyamorous or other types of relationship structures. Therapy is a space for self-discovery and growth, and I’m here to support you in creating a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is open-minded, inquisitive, and engaging, with a balance of warmth and challenge. I believe that meaningful growth happens through both deep exploration and a willingness to challenge limiting beliefs. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused and attachment-based approaches, Gestalt therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

I collaborate with individuals and couples to create a thoughtful, engaged, and dynamic space where challenges can be explored with curiosity and depth. My approach is both compassionate and direct—I will support you while also helping you examine and shift the patterns that may be holding you back. Through this process, we will work toward greater self-awareness, deeper connections, and a life that aligns with your values and authentic self.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect a balance of deep reflection and practical tools to support real change. Together, we will explore the emotions, thoughts, and patterns shaping your experiences while developing strategies to help you navigate life with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you are working through life transitions, anxiety, relationship dynamics, professional challenges, or family conflicts, my goal is to help you cultivate a sense of self that feels grounded and intentional. You will leave our sessions with greater insight, a deeper connection to yourself and others, and the ability to move through life’s complexities with greater ease and authenticity.
