Hello, I am a Licensed family and marriage therapist licensed in California with over 11 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, Bipolar, ADHD and addiction. I have also helped many people who have experienced various types of childhood and adult trauma.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in labels or victim shaming. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Client-Centered, psychodynamic and EMDR therapy. I will work to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
