I am a compassionate professional with dual certification as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist & Board Certified Behavior Analyst in the states of California & Indiana. I have experience working with all different ages and types of individuals, from neurodiverse children & adults to people with anxiety, depression, life changes, or people who just feel overwhelmed and stuck.
My approach is rooted in empathy, mindfulness & evidence-based techniques (like Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis), tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. I help you identify and use your strengths while providing tools to move forward and grow in a healthy manner.
Are you tired of doing the same things that lead you to feeling low, empty, and frustrated? Do you find yourself thinking, “how can I change that”? I will help you identify your strengths while providing tools to change your path and move forward. At some point in our lives, we all need some help. I am licensed as an LMFT in the states of CA & IN.
