Hello! I provide therapy for children, teens, adults, families & couples. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and supportive environment that facilitates meaningful change. With a background in personal and community advocacy, I believe in the transformative power of self-compassion and empowerment in therapy. My approach is rooted in cultural competency, ensuring my clients feel seen and respected in their unique identities. I emphasize a safe, nurturing environment and believe in every person's potential for growth and resilience.
I utilize evidence-based practices like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to help individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I lean towards a humanistic, person-centered approach to encourage personal growth, acceptance, and resilience.
I graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo with a Master of Science in Psychology. I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist 139885 and Supervised by Ian Saward, LMFT. If this is an emergency, please dial 9-8-8.
