Great to meet you!

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California and I have been practicing for 11 years. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to process your interpersonal struggles. I am passionate about the work I do and I enjoy watching my clients live happier and more fulfilling lives. Hablo Español!

My approach to therapy

I enjoy working with diverse clients of all ages, ethnicities, races, faiths, gender identities, and sexual orientations. I believe that a successful therapy experience consists of compatibility between the client and the therapist, a thorough assessment and diagnosis, and a mutual understanding of client's goals and expectations.

What you can expect from me

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is knowing when to push and when not to. It's easy to meet and talk about the "weather" but no real work will happen unless 1) you are ready and 2) I know when to gently encourage you to break cycles, make changes, take risks. You are in charge of your life and ultimately decide what is best for you, I'm here to shed some light, support, encourage, and walk beside you on your journey.
