About My Clients
Are you feeling like you're just going through the motions in life? Do you often experience stress, anxiety, or a lack of confidence? Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of unhealthy relationship patterns? I understand that therapy is about real conversations and authentic engagement. In my practice, you'll find a safe haven where you can be yourself, set against the backdrop of cultural, spiritual, and familial contexts that have shaped you.
My Background and Approach
I'm a California-based Associate Marriage & Family Therapist with an extensive educational background. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, a Master's Degree in Social & Organizational Psychology, and a Master's Degree in Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller School of Psychology. During my graduate studies, I was among a select group of students who completed a one-year intensive training in Restoration couples therapy, providing me with unparalleled depth and experience in couples therapy. I have also completed Gottman Couples Method Practicum Training Levels 1 and 2, as well as EMDR Level 2 training. Many clients find that integrating spirituality adds a profound layer of meaning and support to the therapeutic process. If you desire, we can incorporate a faith-based approach to your journey towards emotional and mental wellness.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe it's never too late for anyone to change, grow, and flourish. I reject the notion that human potential has a ceiling. My conviction stems from the understanding that many mental health struggles result from maladaptive behaviors we've acquired over time and a disconnection from one's authentic self. The good news? These behaviors can be unlearned and replaced with healthier coping mechanisms, and we can work to help you reconnect or discover your authenticity. Whether it's difficulty communicating with your teen, challenges in your romantic relationship, or other life stress, I am your partner in this self-discovery process and pathway to wellness.
