Are you struggling with motivation? Feeling anxious, burned out, like an imposter, or like you're never good enough? Maybe you're repeating relationships, patterns, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand the root causes of your issues, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to change your life. Therapy isn't always easy, but neither is the distress you're feeling now. And if you're here, you want change.
Together, we'll build customized goals and an actionable plan. I'm qualified to help with a variety of challenges; however, I specialize in helping couples, teens, and adults improve communication, set healthy boundaries, learn to regulate emotions, increase confidence, stop people-pleasing, heal from trauma, overcome insecurity, and reduce overthinking.
I commonly help with Anxiety, Depression, OCD, (C)PTSD, grief, relationships, infidelity, pre/post-pregnancy, boundaries, & ADHD. I practice as an LMFT at Caring Connected in Valencia and have 11+ years of experience across drug/alcohol rehabilitations, college campus health centers, and private practice settings. I offer both in PERSON and video sessions.

Many of my clients come in saying, "I 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. I will be honest with you about any patterns I see play out in our sessions and with others.

I am trained in many modalities but most often employ trauma-informed CBT, DBT, Narrative, Discernment, Gottman, 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.
