Great to meet you!

I am licensed by the State of California both as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) as well as a Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I hold three graduate degrees, including one in Clinical Psychology. Throughout the past several years I have helped a wide range of clients including adults, couples, and families in a variety of emotional situations.

My approach to therapy

My practice emphasizes on helping clients resolve immediate situations, while healing from difficult life experiences and developing strong personal and intimate relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key to having a healthy and rewarding life. The process of psychotherapy can strengthen one’s sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and responsibility in daily life. It can also lead to a greater capacity for intimacy, to a more productive use of innate skills, and to experiencing more meaning and pleasure in life.

What you can expect from me

In our first session you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. We’ll work together to figure this out! I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.
