I graduated from UCLA's Social Welfare program and developed a specialty working with adolescents, teens, parents, teachers and school administrators via the LAUSD public school system. Over the course of 15 years, I have developed an expertise in utilizing a trauma-informed lens and attachment theory to address treatment areas such as trauma, depression, parenting, parent-child relationships, behavioral issues and anxiety.
My holistic approach allows you the space to consider how the mind, body, and emotions impact one another. Establishing an authentic, genuine connection is the focus of my practice. I am here to support your growth into who you want to be, at your own pace in a nonjudgmental and brave space.
Feeling connected, valued, understood and respected is what you can expect to achieve in sessions with me. Research has shown that establishing these elements in the therapeutic relationship allows clients to feel safe to make desirable changes. Shame, disappointment, embarrassment, and guilt do not need to be a permanent state of being. You are here, which is the first step to feeling better! I’m excited to join you on your journey! Please reach out to discuss how I can help get you started.
