About My Clients

I am passionate about working with couples and families experiencing communication and intimacy issues and individuals struggling with anxiety and life transitions.

My Background and Approach

I take a culturally-informed and relational therapeutic approach that respects clients’ autonomy while helping them develop coping skills, explore their emotions and needs, and find creative solutions to unhealthy patterns. I tailor my approach to each client’s unique situation and meet them where they are in a motivating, empathetic, and non-judgmental way. I use a combination of the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, & Emotionally Focused Therapy to help my clients improve their emotional communication skills with others and within themselves.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the client is the expert of their lived experience. I am here to support and guide you towards your goals with respect, openness, and a sense of humor. Before pursuing a career in counseling, I worked for a film studio in Los Angeles and I enjoy exploring the psychology behind on-screen characters and what they can teach us about ourselves.
