Great to meet you!

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the states of California and Illinois. I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute and have been practicing for more than 15 years. My hope is for you to experience mental and emotional wellness by prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing. I am here to assist and support you in feeling good about who you are and who you want to become.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client-centered. I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings in an environment that encourages new thoughts and behaviors focused on achieving your goals. I will meet you where you are and challenge you to go where you desire to be collaboratively and sensitively.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, I will answer any questions you may have, gather background information about you, then focus on what brings you into therapy and what you hope to accomplish in our time together. This may take more than one session, but it will help me to create an individualized plan for our future sessions.
