About My Clients

When feeling overwhelmed or stressed, don’t keep trying to do it alone. We’ll explore where grief and loss, parenting, or the challenges life has thrown you might be showing up in how you’re feeling. Maybe you’ve moved from a different state or country and are trying to cope with the Southern California way of life. I understand that adjustment, and how hard it can be to adapt to new expectations and getting comfortable with a different language because I’ve done it myself.

My Background and Approach

I utilize a combination of techniques from evidence based theories including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused interventions, person centered strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that are tailored to your specific needs. I am also trained in EMDR. Even though you might not know what all these techniques mean, know that your treatment is a team effort, and you decide where you want to go. My job is to help you get there. I earned my Master degree in Clinical Psychology from Vrije Universiteit Brussels. I am a member of CAMFT and CALPCC. I can offer you guidance and support, and together we can rediscover your​ inner strength working through those challenges. Let’s look at where and what you want to change, and fix it in a way that works for you. Looking forward to meet you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Traveling and moving to different countries has made me experience and learning to adjust to different cultures. I am always looking for resources and info I can share with you so we can find your path to be wonderful, worthwhile, amazing, awesome. It's up to you. Call me and we can get started.
