Clinical Team

I will meet you where you are today and walk alongside you to uncover old patterns of thinking and establish new ways of living. Our work will be collaborative, learning and growing together.

I believe that compassion can help people to overcome their struggles, So I choose to be a humanistic therapist inside the therapy room and walk alongside my clients during their healing journey. 

Together, we will: understand you, your relationship goals, and how you can improve the relationships most important to you. We will also work together to develop new tools that can help you identify and communicate your boundaries and triggers.

Empowering you wherever you are on your individual journey is my driving force and I feel honored to have the chance to do so. With trauma-informed care and a healthy dose of humor, we will get raw, real and process what’s holding you back or weighing you down-together.

Let’s not forget, we are only human. Our mind and brain is very complex and it can be very complicated to understand at times. Life can often be frustrating and overwhelming and I will  make the vow to stand by you and root for you through the process of working through eliminating triggers and gaining skills.

It’s my passion to help people get to the place they want to be in life, whether that’s in your relationship(s), in self-growth or finding acceptance of things that are out of your control.

I am an EMDR-trained Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with clinical experience working with at-risk adolescents (13-18) in short-term residential therapeutic settings. I also have Telehealth experience and experience with victims of sexual assault, as well as referrals from Orange County Social Services Agency. 

  In my capacity as a compassionate therapist, I will hear you out without passing judgement and acknowledge your experiences in a sincere and true manner Together, we may look for solutions and discover how to practice for self-empowerment to improve and enrich our lives.

Therapy allows us to explore life’s constant contradictions while identifying our balancing counterpoints. As a pair, you and I can explore your existential concerns while learning tools to help navigate your day-to-day challenges.

In therapy, we often uncover wounds that haven't fully healed. As these wounds resurface, therapy begins the process of healing them gradually. I want to emphasize that it's okay not to be okay. 

My goal is to provide an empathic and engaging style throughout treatment while providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space as we navigate your journey together. I believe in a client-centered approach and that clients are the change-makers who hold the power to guide their own journey.
