I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California, working in the field since I received my Master’s degree in 2010. I worked for a private non-profit clinic with children (0-18) and their families for five years. I then worked for a high school district providing educationally related mental health services for four years before beginning the journey of practicing independently. I have experience providing treatment for a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relational issues, parenting, trauma, abuse, and risk management. I also have experience teaching as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University. The desire for human connection and abnormal psychology have fascinated me since I was a teenager, which resulted in my choice to become a therapist. Each work environment has provided me with knowledge and experience, but also with the honor of being present for clients at their most vulnerable and brave moments. I like to create a sense of safety for clients and draw from a person-centered approach in sessions. This means that I will remain curious about your experience and facilitate discussion which will lead you to discover that you have always held the key to unlock solutions. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems approach, and Solution Focused Therapy to guide treatment. Maintaining trauma-informed care is essential and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). Every therapist is different. I tend to be somewhat laid back, as I believe clients are the experts on their lives and I want you to know the hour is yours. We will work together as a team to collaborate on treatment goals, addressing challenges, and resolving issues. I believe everyone has mental health. The severity and intensity it needs attention varies throughout our life span, just like most things. It takes courage to ask for help and I feel privileged to be in the position to provide you with support and guidance as you work towards feeling like the best version of yourself. I look forward to working with you!

I'm here to support you throughout your therapeutic journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, rediscover your strengths, and achieve your individual or relationship goals. I offer a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, where we collaboratively search for new solutions using empirically based therapeutic treatment.

It is possible for you to identify and achieve your goals. Sometimes it just takes someone to come alongside you to help you make different choices. During my 10 years as a clinical therapist I have been privileged to assist many clients to improve and heal through a combination of faith based processes and my credentials as a California State University-Fresno Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters of Social Work. It has been my experience that Christian foundational-based counseling, delivered within current psychological guidelines and cultural conventions, result in the most enduring outcomes. I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, and others, depending upon the client's needs. I have had much success with (1) couples and individuals with relationship issues and keeping marriages together; (2) children, regarding self-esteem improvement and separation anxiety; and (3)serving many clients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress, and general stress issues. I am willing to work with all kinds of clients no matter what the issue. I offer a safe environment, where there is freedom to explore, heal, and transform. It is my hope that you will remember your true destiny and choose life.
