I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #146033) with more than 25 years of experience in the helping professions. My approach to therapy is client-centered, compassionate, and authentic. I believe that meaningful change begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.
I am a genuine and direct therapist who approaches each client with honesty, empathy, and care. My goal is to help you identify your strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I have your best interests at heart and tailor treatment to meet your unique needs, goals, and experiences.
I draw from a variety of evidence-based and humanistic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Psychotherapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy. By integrating these modalities, I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and foster emotional growth.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, older adults, couples, and families. My clinical experience includes treating a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, grief and loss, behavioral challenges, substance use and addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. I welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally responsive, inclusive care.
Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, seeking healthier relationships, working toward recovery, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with compassion, respect, and practical guidance. Together, we can build on your strengths and work toward the life you want to create.
