I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I provide a collaborative therapeutic approach integrating human-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients as they face, explore, and cope with painful emotions, behavioral challenges, and stressors. I recognize the need for help navigating life and emotional challenges. I work with Octave Behavioral Health. At Octave, I am in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, and Health Net / MHN commercial insurance plans. If you have coverage under one of these plans, please visit findoctave.com to schedule or email me and I can help get you started.
Knowing that it takes courage for people to seek therapy, I work with compassion to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I will listen carefully to your concerns and will work with you to develop treatment goals tailored to your individual needs.
I will foster an environment to help build close supportive relationships. My goal is to help everyday people, facing everyday problems to overcome challenges and live their best life.
