I have honed my skills working with adults and children dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions.
Therapy is a unique experience aimed at helping clients understand their emotions as well as learning that our symptoms are telling us something. It is the collaborative relationship between therapist and client that allows each client to explore not only their symptoms but understand ones self, while obtaining valuable tools to deal with emotions, conflict, and interpersonal communication. In my office I offer a warm non-judgmental space for self exploration and growth.

You've taken the right step in exploring options for your child.
Do you often find yourself alone in your parenting struggles? Raising kids is a tough job, one for which you may think you are unprepared. You are challenged by playing the multiple, and sometimes conflicting, roles of referee, cheerleader, and coach. You constantly need to manage the wide range of your child's emotions and behaviors. From a simple refusal to listen, to full blown temper tantrums, it is a constant struggle figuring out how to respond to your child's varying behaviors effectively. Yes Parenting isn't easy, but there is hope. You don't have to walk this journey alone.

I have always had a curiosity for human development and how our experiences shape us into who we are today. My empathetic drive to understand and help people brought me to psychotherapy at a young age. I received my Master's in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy From Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology. I currently work predominantly with young adults, families, teens and children wanting to figure out why they feel "stuck” or how to help themselves overcome anxiety, depression, grief, familial issues, and other interpersonal challenges. I offer CBT with a solution-oriented push.

Helping cultivate the ability to say what you need to say to partners, children, friends and family with love and empathy, so that you can be heard.
As individuals, we are so unique. We all come from very distinct backgrounds and life experiences, both of which impact our decisions, choices, desires and fears. These considerations all play a role in the struggles and pain we face. Looking at these areas of our lives and trying to understand their influence can be overwhelming and scary. For this reason I strive to create a safe, warm and non-judgmental environment where, together, we can explore collaboratively. This time together will allow you the space needed to evaluate your experiences and understand how they affect you and your relationships.
