Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience serving the Santa Clarita community and provide telehealth throughout the state of California. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and women. I bring a deep understanding of both individual challenges and family dynamics.

My approach to therapy

I’m a licensed therapist and have devoted my career to supporting teens, parents, and women through life’s ups and downs. I create a safe, caring space where teens can build confidence and resilience, and where families can strengthen communication and connection. Together, we’ll work on practical strategies and personal growth, helping you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive space where you can be heard and understood. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, explore any challenges you’re facing—whether it’s stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or family dynamics—and start thinking about practical ways to feel more confident, connected, and supported. This session is all about building trust, clarifying your goals, and taking the first step toward growth and positive change.
