I am a Licensed MFT in California with a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I am finishing my Doctorate (ABD) in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have over 6 years of professional experience in a wide variety of settings. I specialize in EMDR and helping clients with childhood and complex trauma and abuse, addictions, existential purpose and meaning, relational issues, motivation, and self-esteem.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My goal in therapy is to empower you to get you out of places where you feel stuck and be your true, authentic self. I aim to challenge you to face your past and overcome the issues that affect your mind, body, and spirit! I specialize in EMDR, attachment theory, existential/humanistic theory, and solution-focused therapy.
One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is being approachable and warm. Therapy should feel natural and easy; however, I do not shy away from challenging my clients as well! Goal setting is an ongoing process that will be assessed often. Goals can be broad and specific, along with short and long-term. First sessions are all about getting to know each other, experience in therapy, and what healthy outcomes and expectations are.
