Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or not, I look forward to providing you with a comfortable, open, and safe space to explore and learn about yourself, especially if you’re experiencing depression, anxiety, emotional trauma, relationship or family distress, and issues related to cultural identity. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience providing mental and behavioral health services to individuals in various stages of life, currently offering individual therapy services to adults. I graduated with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne. I am knowledgeable in various therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Feedback Informed Care.
I utilize an eclectic approach, incorporating honesty, humor, and direct communication to help you meet your goals. Everyone needs an open ear from time to time, and I am here to help you navigate the areas you feel may benefit from increased support and insight, improving your thoughts and feelings through our work together.
