As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have had the opportunity to work with children, teens, and adults (including 65+). I have treated a broad range of struggles such as life transitions, depressive, anxious symptoms, and loss/grief. I have obtained my Masters degree in MFT from Hope International University.
Prior to mental health, I enjoyed a career in Cytogenetics/science analyzing chromosomes for abnormalities. My science background is an asset that I love.
I utilize a variety of approaches to facilitate change, growth, or healing, pulling from several different modalities such as CBT, BDT, and ACT. After all, we are all unique and one treatment or modality doesn't fit all. I feel that the main component of facilitating positive change or healing is empathy.
I believe that connection is key to the therapeutic process and making my clients feel safe and understood, even in their most vulnerable moments is the beginning of healing. We heal in community! And I am here to walk side-by-side in whatever you are facing.
