About My Clients

I see a diverse range of client who seek therapy for help with a wide range of issues. My practice is open to children over 5 years old, teenagers, and adults. I also provide counseling for couples & families. Whether you just need someone to talk to or you are having severe mental health symptoms, I am available to help you.

My Background and Approach

My approach to therapy is one of positive regard, non-judgment and genuineness. I have a warm, welcoming and light presence. I consider being a part of my clients' journeys a privilege. I believe that given the right support we will move towards purposeful and self-directed living. We can shed the ways of being that no longer serve us. We can begin to live from a more congruent and authentic place. We can come to solve many of the troubles we currently face. ​ I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of California. Licenses - LMFT#119232; LPCC#8741

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have been working as a therapist for over five years and have helped clients in a variety of settings. I have worked with clients of most ages and many backgrounds. I've counseled people through life transitions, relationship issues, mood disorders, substance abuse, death, and other challenges at every stage of life's journey. I know that people are resilient. I know that people can change. I also know that it is hard work, and often not easy to do on our own. We need someone in our corner. We need someone we can trust who is outside of our family and friends. When you find a therapist that you connect with and you begin to do that important work with, anything is possible.
