I see therapy as a journey to discover ways to handle life challenges, no matter how big or small. There is no one size fits all approach since we are all so unique. My approach uses multiple different therapy modalities to see what will be the best fit for you. On our journey together, I am hopeful that we can uncover the skills you already are using and add to them. We all thrive when we are listened to and feel understood so I hope to create a space where you feel welcomed and safe. I look forward to getting to know you!

I have been working as a therapist in California for the last eight years. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, children, and families in a variety of settings including community non-profit agencies, in home and school settings.
