Let's Connect (323) 897-8386
I am most comfortable engaging clients who may have familiarity with overwhelming sensations about life, in general, or an inability to manage daily life, relationships, family, academic, and work experiences. I aim to establish and maintain rapport through effective working relationships, offering psychoeducation related to life transitions by setting attainable goals that build upon healthy inclusive, and supportive connections.
My area of specialization is trauma-informed via a strength-based practice for groups, individuals, couples, teens, and military veterans at risk for anxiety, depression, anger, adjustment, relationship, suicidal ideation, substance use, and complex trauma.
My therapeutic approach employs treatment modalities that offer creative exploration of thoughts and ideas to engage meaningful experiences.
