Congratulations on taking the first step toward healing! I am passionate in bringing empowerment and insight to the world of those who struggle to move forward. I am Licensed as a Marriage and Family therapist and has been helping others for over 8 years. My journey has led me to work successfully dealing with a wide range of issues such as Anxiety and Depression. My approach to therapy is unbiased, client-centered, and collaborative. I truly value diversity and its impacts and utilizes a Gestalt and CBT therapy approach, along with emphasizing self-compassion.

Do you experience anxiety, depression, or negative self-worth? Have you become stuck in negative patterns of poor self-care or interpersonal relationships that are draining or even abusive? I have dedicated my practice to helping others heal and break free from negative cycles of abuse - both within and outside oneself.

I entered the field of social work to help heal. At some point in life, everyone benefits from emotional support. My experience consists of helping individuals cope with issues of abuse , trauma, stressors, emotional challenges, or life transitions. Searching for emotional support or guidance can be an overwhelming, yet a courageous first step to the healing process. I have over 20 years of experience treating high-risk individuals. I held various positions in the public and nonprofit sectors that include schools, medical facilities, and community-based organizations.

If difficult life experiences have left you feeling stuck, worried, hopeless, angry or overwhelmed, we can work together to bring change to your life. My first priority is building a trusting, safe relationship with you. I will utilize my expertise in interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to create a safe, non-judgmental environment, informed by a framework founded on the connections between mind, body, and emotion. I will use cutting edge science about the brain that empowers you with information to understand your relationship patterns and why you think, feel, and behave the way you do.

It's tough to be human. I use a trauma-informed approach, working primarily from a place of wanting to understand your perspective. I believe in supporting you with reframing thoughts and narratives that may no longer serve you. I work relationally, supporting you identify themes in your life that may hinder you from having the most meaningful life possible. I believe in supporting you create an experience that is purposeful; the pace of therapy can move as slowly or quickly as you deem comfortable. I’m licensed in CA, OR and FL (telehealth). I can provide therapy anywhere in California, Oregon or Florida via telehealth.

I believe that to become better versions of ourselves, we must first work towards healing and processing our past wounds. Sometimes our wounds and past traumas can hold us back from being better partners, parents, and individuals. I need to provide you with a safe and nurturing environment to heal and grow. My focus throughout the past years has been providing culturally responsive care as well as LGBTQ+ affirming care while working with clients toward their goals, building upon their strengths, and facilitating an environment for growth toward self-acceptance and self-empowerment.

Accepting Couples or Adolescents Only. If you are in a relationship that has fallen stagnant or resentful, I assure you it does not have to remain this way. There is much to learn and transform, underneath the frozen silence or fiery words. But couples therapy is not for the faint of heart. It will take time and patience, to unlearn your patterns and repair, while allowing your partner the same. If you are truly motivated and ready for the legwork, I am ready to guide you and your partner with gentle leadership, education, tools, and exercises (both in and outside of session.) I am also here to help you see your blind spots.
