Great to meet you!

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, I provide psychoeducation and psychotherapy using trauma-informed, systemic approaches. I specialize in working with trauma-affected populations, addressing issues like trauma, addiction, family conflict, depression, and anxiety. My involvement with the crisis intervention team at SAC Health System has strengthened my skills in crisis management.

My approach to therapy

My goal is to help clients develop coping skills that enable them to thrive. I support their growth by exploring core values, personal aspirations, and achievements. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and systemic approaches like Genograms, to help individuals and families gain a deeper understanding of their dynamics and experiences.

What you can expect from me

As part of your healing journey, I can help you acquire the tools necessary to develop a more effective approach within the therapeutic alliance. My passion for fostering a positive learning environment will help maximize your daily performance. Together, we can work towards achieving post-traumatic growth as a result of your experiences.
