Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 5 years of counseling experience. I have certifications in Meditation Teaching, Expressive Arts, EFT, Life Coaching, & NLP. I enjoy working with professionals who want support in managing stress, anxiety, & depression to cope with life challenges. My clients are eager to improve but don’t yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, & anxious about their careers, life goals, & personal growth.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy using a multi-modal approach (expressive arts, guided imagery, CBT, Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to address the needs of the mind, body and spirit. I help uncover those deeply held core beliefs and emotions that may be working underneath the surface that contribute to low self-esteem, low self-worth, anxiety and depression. Mind-body strategies such as mindfulness are integral to the work I do with helping clients build healthy coping strategies to address barriers to feeling relief.

What you can expect from me

While everyone is unique, I've found that clients start making progress after the first five sessions together. My goal is to ensure each client has the tools they need based upon the goals we set, to be their best. I take Aetna, Cigna, Oscar Health, United Healthcare, and Oxford. I am not accepting Blue Shield of California.
