Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who had a former career in finance and accounting. I came into the field about 15 years ago out of my love of helping people as they navigate the ups and downs of life and their relationships. I graduated from Pepperdine University and since have helped a number of different clients as they heal from issues ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma and many other issues in between. I have worked with children and teens as well as adults.

My approach to therapy

I attempt to meet you where you are currently and then assist you in clarifying and ultimately making progress towards goals that will get you what you want the most. Together we will work on developing and implementing the skills necessary to remove roadblocks that have been in the way of your success and happiness in the past. I weave in interventions and therapy techniques from a mixture of different evidence based practices to increase insight, awareness, motivation and conscious action.

What you can expect from me

I believe that ultimately you as the client are the expert on you, your experiences and life. I am here to listen, support and understand in the most caring way as possible and be a guide and partner as you work towards taking the steps you have always needed or wanted to take forward.
