I'm a licensed
marriage and family
therapist, educator, and advocate for positive change, authenticity, and integrity.
You deserve to live as authentically and with as much integrity as you desire in order to be the best version of yourself, but this can be difficult at times. The journey can be full of discovery or even feel scary. The things we think can lead us to our goals may not be as fulfilling as we thought. Sometimes because of what has happened before or what we think might happen. Change can be hard. It can feel overwhelming. It's different for everyone.

I offer straight forward individual,
marriage
, family and child therapy without the technical jargon. I'm into straight talk with people who are ready to make changes. I believe we all have the ability within us to change ourselves, so to me therapy is a collaborative effort. My therapeutic orientation is cognitive-behavioral as well as family systems, and I work from a spiritually-based approach for those who ask for it. I have special experience in a number of areas, such as military, trauma, domestic violence, and abuse. Ultimately, I provide the type of therapy that meets your needs.

teletherapy practice in California out of a desire to use my life experience, education, and faith to help serve the emotional and behavioral health needs of our community and our state. Through my experience in all levels of treatment, I have discovered that building rapport through a supportive relationship in therapy creates a safe and positive space to work through life’s difficulties, understand important issues, learn new and effective coping skills, and develop full relationships to lead a more authentic life.

Disconnected, frustrated, overwhelmed, confused, drained, or just a general sense of blah….sound like you? Let’s talk about it. That is really what therapy boils down to.. talking to an objective and open-minded person with the professional skills to help you find your way. It’s difficult to see through the storm when you’re in the middle of it. That’s where I come in. Standing outside of your storm to help you find your way through.

I am a Master's Level Licensed
Marriage and Family
Therapist and have over fifteen years of experience working with a wide diversity of clients and issues.
Therapy can seem different or intimidating at times, but it doesn’t have to be. My aim is to create a thoughtful connection and help reduce any apprehensions by maintaining a relaxed demeanor, displaying genuine interest, and continually striving for authenticity. The process of therapy can help individuals or couples become unstuck. We all experience patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Gaining insight into these patterns helps us discover where change is necessary. Enacting change is always up to the individual or couple, but my goal is to help you get there to take charge.

What type of Palmdale mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counselor in Palmdale?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Finding a psychologist or therapist who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
