With background in conflict mediation around cultural and political divides, I know first-hand how divisive deep-rooted issues can be. The same is true in our personal relationships. I believe an ability to relate healthily is a core aspect of a full and happy life, and that we have the ability to transform our patterns and heal. I work with clients to gain insight into patterns, break through stuckness, and thrive. With couples, I integrate emotion-focused approaches, relationship and communication strategies to support couples heal challenging patterns, rediscover intimacy, or work preventatively.
I am licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold an MA in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute, and an MA from King’s College, London in Conflict Resolution. I works with individuals, couples and families and specialize in relationships, depression, anxiety, cross-cultural issues, identity exploration, and more.
If you'd like to learn more, schedule a 15-minute consultation call with me via text or email and let's see if it's a good fit! Looking forward to meeting you.
