Hello and welcome! By reaching out for help for yourself or your family member, you are helping decrease stigma. I am passionate about providing support! More support is never a negative thing. I am skilled at helping with a variety of mental health symptoms: anxiety, depression, substance use, psychosis and trauma. I enjoy learning you, your life and your family while building rapport and collaborating on treatment goals. I assist in learning and practicing healthy coping skills, while also reducing negative thought patterns. I have special experience in trauma informed care.

Are you struggling to find the support you need? Whether you are experiencing everyday struggles or confronting more serious difficulties, I may be able to help. I am a bilingual LMFT, CA Certified Domestic Violence Counselor, and Level I Certified Telebehavioral Health Provider. I draw from various evidence-based treatment modalities, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation. I view individuals as experts in their own existence, and believe each person knows what will work for them and what is best for them. I can offer support as you work to identify your current needs, goals and unique set of strengths and skills.

From the unexpected challenges to finding fulfillment when overcoming a trial, every person deserves to be the hero of their own story. From trauma to mood disorders to relational issues, each challenge is not an isolated event, but a story that is connected to our past, present, and future. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about helping people work through these challenges to come out even stronger, emotionally and mentally. I work with youth, adults, couples, and families to identify how this connection can lead to overcoming challenges and finding healing.

Are you concerned about your child? Do you want to improve communication and connection within your family? I am passionate about and have extensive experience working with families to improve parent-child relationships, structure, and dynamics to increase overall attunement, functioning, and connection.

I tailor our work and treatment together to the uniqueness of your life while maintaining authenticity in a safe and trusting environment.

Life is always filled with challenges and it's not always possible to deal with these life challenges in the most healthy and practical ways possible. Sometimes you might not have the support of others that you need to deal with these life stressors. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other behavioral problems. My goal as your therapist is to help you navigate these life stressors in the best way possible for you. I do this through a collaborative approach with my clients, as each individual is unique and what works best for one client might not work for another.

Creating change and healing in your life is possible, and seeking out a therapist is a great way to get started. Therapy can help you figure out what isn't working for you, view it from different perspectives, and learn new ways to relate to yourself and others. Using a style that is personable, accepting and non-judgmental, my clients see me as a real person who cares about them and their concerns.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or numbness, I’m here for you. Blaming yourself or feeling guilt or shame is no fun. These experiences are probably affecting your relationships, even the one with yourself. Your body gets bombarded with danger signals and in an attempt to cope you have learned to ignore your gut feeling and to numb the outside. Now you are noticing that this has challenged your ability to manage stressful situations, and it has led you to feel easily overwhelmed and wishing you could just shut it all off. This is what Complex PTSD can feel like when it goes untreated.

Have you noticed a sudden change in your child or teen? Is your teen struggling with mood, including depression or anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, grief, or a substance use disorder? I provide supportive counseling to youth with any social, emotional or behavioral concerns you may have. I work collaboratively with parents to improve family communication. I am passionate about providing coping skills for youth as way to impact their lives and future. As an empathetic and down-to-earth therapist who is passionate about supporting children, teens, and their families through times of struggle, I look forward to meeting you.

Your relationships are important. Your mental health matters. It's not easy to ask for help, and finding the help you need can be even harder.
