Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Master of Clinical Psychology degree, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I've been a practicing therapist in outpatient/inpatient clinics, private college, and residential treatment. I have extensive experience working with those who are coping with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, and family conflicts. Depression, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, eating disorders, and motivation, self-esteem, and confidence are also a specialty of mine.
My treatment approach involves working with an individual's needs and goals with evidence-based treatments. However, the most important aspect of counseling by far is the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to become vulnerable about your personal struggles. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness. It would be my honor to walk with you on your journey. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. Our relationship with ourselves and others has worth and is useful to explore in counseling.
In terms of availability, I check and respond to messages at least twice daily. I offer live chat, phone sessions, and video sessions weekly. In regards to specific times and dates, please reach out to me. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to working with you!
