Do you understand where some of your behaviors come from but are still at a loss to change them?

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California

About My Clients

As a therapist, I love working with motivated and insightful adults and teens (men, women and non-binary), who want to better understand how their past impacts them and are ready for meaningful change in their lives. There are times in life where we need someone to just listen with empathy only, and while that is a part of what I do, in order to receive the most from therapy, you must be ready to be pushed towards the version of yourself you want to be.

My Background and Approach

I enjoy working with diverse clients and have worked with anxiety, depression, complex-trauma, family of origin issues, addiction issues, grief and loss, interpersonal conflict, and career/life transitions. Although there are a lot of effective strategies, therapy isn't one size fits all. My approach is tailored to each individual: I use CBT, DBT, EMDR, attachment-based interventions and Internal Family Systems. Because I love it and it is a part of my personal journey, I also teach about the mind-body connection and ways to work with the nervous system to improve mood regulation. By listening to the signals our bodies send, we can learn to work with our bodies instead of against. if you are a seeking a therapist who will support you in focusing on the tough stuff, let's chat! I want to help you work WITH the different parts of you, instead of against. I'm here to help incorporate all of what you have experienced into a life worth living. I'm ready to help you get out of the woods.
