I believe in creating an environment which serves as a ‘soft place to land’ for my clients. When children are challenged, the entire family is challenged. By creating a positive environment where children feel accepted, valued, and safe, they are able to make sense of their world by expressing themselves in a way that feels natural to them. Children do not always have words to communicate their struggles and can become overwhelmed by big emotions. As a Registered Play Therapist, I strive to give voice to these challenges and support caregivers in navigating the sometimes difficult and very important job of parenting.

I’m a bilingual LPC Associate and owner of Conejo Counseling. I work with young adults through the lifespan individually and with couples. I cover topics mostly related to depression, anxiety, stress, communication, sex and sexuality, and LGBTQIA+ topics. I aim to find where a client is and where they would like to go while exploring the various "rabbit holes" along the way. Like a GPS, without identifying where we are beginning it’s impossible to provide a way.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe the counseling process is much like a journey and is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the individual, couple, or family. My counseling style is dependent on the needs of each unique individual and their goals. Therefore the counseling process will be different for each person, but my role as a therapist, to guide and encourage, remains the same. In the first few sessions, we will work to discover where you would like to go on the journey and continue when you are proactively committed to getting there.
