About My Clients

I specialize in cognitive behavior, dialectical behavior, and ketamine therapy as well as personal sexual growth, intimacy, sexual expression, and work intimately within the kink community. The clients that would benefit most from my expertise are those who struggle with expression, acceptance of oneself, and/or struggle to voice their needs and boundaries.

My Background and Approach

I graduated from the University of La Verne, and spent 6 years in traditional K-12 as a high school and middle school counselor in alternative education settings. As an LPCC I have 6 years of experience and focus primarily on adults, young adults, and older teens. I use a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, humanistic therapy, strength-based therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused brief therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Here you will challenge your personal concerns, learn mental health skills, increase your insight and perspective, and better understand yourself and your place in the world. You will find compassion, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach. I invite you to come flourish in a new direction. Bring your concerns to the table, I have already set a place for you.
