Empowering You to Embrace Your True Self
Welcome to my practice, where you'll find a safe and supportive environment to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I'm dedicated to providing client-centered, solution-focused, and scientifically-informed therapy for individuals and couples. My approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, creating a space for you to express yourself freely.
My Expertise
With a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a Master of Science in Counseling from California State University, Northridge, I've developed a strong foundation in understanding human behavior and relationships. My experience spans working with students and professors at Glendale College, advocating for the inclusion of family and couples therapy, and providing therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds. I've had the privilege of working with creative professionals, gifted individuals, and those navigating life adjustments, parenting, and interpersonal relationships.
My Approach
In our sessions, we'll work together to identify the underlying issues, develop coping strategies, and find ways to make positive changes in your life. I'm passionate about helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, taking into account your cultural, social, and biological context. Whether you're seeking individual or couples therapy, I'll work closely with you to create a personalized approach that suits your unique needs.
