Great to meet you!

I have over 14 years of experience helping individuals and families. My approach is direct, compassionate and transformational. Currently I work mainly with couples and individuals using the Relational Life Therapy philosophy. I am licensed in the state of CA.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in Relational Life Therapy - a powerful, direct, and compassionate method that helps you uncover the roots of disconnection and build the skills to reconnect. I bring a bold, honest presence to our sessions. I will tell you the truth - not to judge you, but to empower and liberate you. Together, we'll build relational muscles - to stand in self-esteem, own their impact and love fiercely.

What you can expect from me

Clients often tell me they feel both challenged and deeply supported - a mix of warmth and direction that allows for deep healing and real change.
