Can't focus? Are you overstimulated or struggling with negative thoughts, painful memories, imposter syndrome, self-esteem, or decreased motivation? Do you fall into patterns in relationships, friendships, or work and wish you could break the cycle? Sometimes, it isn't obvious why we do the things we do, but we can sense we're not our most authentic or successful self. Even when we know the cause of our distress, changing our behavior can still be hard. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, pressure, or bias and help you examine the root causes of your challenges to create the change you want in your life.
Together we can build customized goals and an actionable plan. I'm qualified to help with a variety of challenges; however, I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, boundaries, ADHD/ADD, career, parenting, intimacy, grief, and finding purpose. I also enjoy helping clients heal from abuse, regulate emotions, and build confidence.
I currently practice as an LPCC at Caring Connected in Valencia and have 8+ years of experience across community mental health, school-based, and private practice settings. I offer video and in-person sessions, as well as the ability to make payments and fill out forms in a secure, online Client Portal. I also run parenting and DBT skills therapeutic groups.

Many of my clients come in saying, "I more or less understand what my issues are, but I struggle when it comes to actually changing my behavior." If this sounds like you, we may be a good fit as I have a focus on practicality and helping to answer the, "what now?" question that often comes after awareness is reached. My style is characterized by warmth, directness, honesty, humor, and compassion.

I am trained in many modalities but most often employ trauma-informed Humanistic, DBT, Rogerian, Narrative, Feminist, and Psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy taking proper time to get to know you and your story deeply, while also making sure to teach practical tools up front. That way, you are provided with some immediate relief while we work towards understanding more complex patterns and systems.
