I have a passion for guiding individuals and couples through difficult life transitions as well as those striving to identify their personal potential for growth. I am looking forward to understanding your story and help you have a deeper insight into the mental health symptoms you may experience, to explore ways to rewrite your perspective on the past and work through cognitive blocks to creatively improve your life. My desire is to give you a space where you feel understood, safe and empowered to make changes as you work through any fears, concerns or insecurities that you are currently facing.
I am a Marriage and Family therapist and a Professional Clinical counselor who has been licensed since 2010. I received my Master’s degree at California Baptist University in Riverside and my Bachelor’s degree at Biola University in La Mirada.
I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, various mood disorders, self-esteem issues, interpersonal problems in relationships and stress management skills.
