My therapeutic approach combines warmth, authenticity, and evidence-based strategies that help you feel both supported and empowered to create real change.
I bring a comfortable, conversational style that makes therapy feel less clinical. I try to use humor and am not afraid to share genuine reactions or observations that might help you gain new perspectives.
I believe therapy should include both serious reflection and lighter moments. I focus on helping you understand the “why” behind your patterns while giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life.
I am licensed in California with years of experience working with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger management, self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
Additional areas of focus: Body image, Communication problems, Control issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Life purpose, Self-love, Women's issues
Clinical approaches: Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Systemic Therapy
