Great to meet you!

I’m licensed in California with 20 years of experience in mental health helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I’ll tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My approach is not one size fits all; however, I do utilize evidenced-based practices (CBT and MI) through a trauma-informed lens.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am encouraging, I listen well for patterns and unhealthy thoughts/beliefs.

What you can expect from our first session

I assign homework between sessions. We work collaboratively to set meaningful goals and then we track progress together.
