I am licensed in California with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma, abuse, & eating disorders. I also have experience working with depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I came to this profession based on my own experience with therapy, which changed my life. I want my clients to feel safe, seen, and heard. I believe that this must happen in order for clients to gain trust in me as a therapist. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy, and Attachment Based Therapy with my clients, but I believe that an integrative therapy is the best so that client’s can benefit from them all, concurrently. I provide a warm, respectful, and compassionate space for my clients so that they can feel safe to open up and do the work that enables them to live their best life. The client is always the expert on themselves, but can benefit from a different perspective. I can help point out patterns of behavior that might be holding clients back and interfering with the growth most people wish to achieve.
