I hold a Bachelor's degree in Counseling/Psychology from William Jessup University and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Western Seminary. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck and are seeking support to process their emotions and accomplish their goals. My approach is client-centered, warm, and compassionate. I believe that people often have an idea of what they need but may need guidance and support along the way to reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is for my clients to feel happy, successful, and empowered in their personal growth. I have experience supporting clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, and I also work with families as a whole. As a busy mom of two young children, I currently offer sessions during evenings and weekends. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes. Please note that I am licensed to practice in California, and clients must be located in California during our sessions. I am unfortunately, unable to write any letters that require a diagnosis. This platform does not allow therapist to diagnose and I do not currently have a private practice. I deeply value self-care and lead by example, taking most holidays off to spend time with my family. If you have any questions about membership please contact the Customer Success Team.

I am licensed in multiple states including California with many years of professional work experience as a therapist. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, mood instability, overcoming addictions, and healing trauma. Our human condition is one that requires guidance and compassion. Helping my clients elevate out of depression, enduring grief and resolving loss are among the most common services I provide. I work with individuals, couples and families to create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of judgment. Starting the therapy process, switching therapists, or returning to therapy after a period of time can be challenging. To be vulnerable is to be courageous and to do this often requires help. My skills are designed to help my clients achieve a sense of strength and to have a more consistent state of peace and joy. I do this with a variety of methods. I tailor my model of therapy based on the clients’ needs and individual goals, allowing authentic growth and sustaining mental health. Often simply identifying goals can create immediate shifts in how we think, in turn changing the way we feel. Whether the therapy is brief and efficient to push toward immediate mobility, or the therapy is instead a more long-term plan, depends on my clients’ needs and desires. I am available to help you with your future and therapy process.

I am licensed in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping individuals and couples with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence, but mostly I help people to clear the emotional muck that builds up over the years so that they can more clearly see who they authentically are and live from that place. I work with couples to repair trust, improve communication, and strengthen their emotional intimacy with one another, while also clearing the muck that has built up in the relationship over the years. Let’s work together so you can see more clearly! Because everyone’s issues are unique, the pace, intensity, and details of clearing that muck are also unique. It starts with a collaborative and trusting relationship with your therapist. Feeling like you can be authentic and honestly share your thoughts and feelings is critical to making progress. But it’s not just sharing or talking. Therapy is also work. In addition to feeling, noticing, and recognizing what is under the muck, therapy is about taking small but meaningful steps toward the change you want. While, finally, showing yourself the compassion to heal. I look forward to supporting you in that healing.
