After receiving my BA in Psychology from California State University, Northridge and my MA in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University I found my calling in supporting and assisting adolescents and their parents with navigating educational, emotional and mental health needs on middle and high school campuses. I quickly recognized my true joy and passion advocating for the social and emotional wellness of students and decided to broaden my scope of practice to working with students and clients of all ages and varieties.
One of the most significant lessons that I have I learned is how to develop a uniquely personable Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic style. I like to collaborate with my clients to help them create a greater sense of confidence in their own abilities and gain a better understanding of the problem and a treatment strategy.
I value unconditionally welcoming and accepting diverse clientele and believe in fostering an environment of empathy and compassion to create a safe and trustworthy space. I place importance on meeting clients at their level of comfort and patiently guiding them through positive change toward positive results.
