Let's Connect (916) 801-6569
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges. My work focuses on helping individuals heal from childhood abuse and traumatic experiences, process grief and loss, and manage depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. My approach is compassionate, practical, and tailored to each person’s unique goals for growth and emotional well-being.
My theoretical approaches are evidenced based practices which include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to decrease high anxiety and manage moods that interfere in the daily function, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to manage difficult events in your day that create mental chaos from traumatic experiences.
As economic pressures increase, many individuals struggle to access the care they need to achieve emotional well-being. At Road to Wellness, our mission is to provide effective, individualized outpatient psychotherapy that is accessible and affordable, helping each person move toward their highest level of mental health and overall wellness.
