Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA with 16+ years of experience providing therapy to Couples, Individuals, and Families.

As your therapist, I’m here to do that. I offer you a safe space without fear of judgement to explore your concerns and help you make the changes in life that you desire. You deserve happiness!

I work with Couples, Individuals, and Families throughout CA providing therapy via Telehealth (HIPAA compliant Zoom), which allows you to meet from the comfort and convenience of your home, maximize your time, and reduce scheduling challenges.
My counseling style is empowering, supportive, and direct. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling hopeful and empowered, with a concrete plan of steps/actions you can take to implement change.
Through therapy I hope to help you become your best self and find joy in your life. I utilize a variety of clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Attachment Theory, Family Systems,
Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing.

My passion and specialty is in working with couples. Having been married for 18 years, I know that relationships can be hard, but I also know the joys of having a strong, loving bond with your partner. My aim is to help you build healthy communication skills, resolve conflict, forgive, let go of past resentments and hurts, and develop a healthy, thriving partnership. I have training in the Gottman method for couple's therapy, and I use this to guide my work with couples.
I enjoy supporting partners through pre-marital counseling, navigating pregnancy, and transitioning into parenthood. I have experience treating Perinatal Mood/Anxiety disorders and I am passionate about Maternal Mental Health.
I am also skilled in supporting couples with the joys and challenges of raising older children and co-parenting, including co-parenting in blended/step families.
Finally, I enjoy working with couples who have been in relationship for many years and are struggling with the challenges that can arise in longterm partnerships... drifting apart over time, infidelity, built up of resentment and hurt, shifting life goals, etc. Let me help you get back on track!
When working with Individuals, I specialize in supporting with phase of life challenges, anxiety, depression, perinatal mood/anxiety disorders, increasing life satisfaction, and relationship and occupational challenges. Focusing on your mental health is as important as attending to your physical health. Prioritize it! You deserve to feel peace and joy in your life!
I have extensive experience working with families. I am skilled at supporting families increase their communication, repair hurts, and establish a healthy familial hierarchy in which all members feel respected, heard, supported, and loved. I strongly believe that the relationships children have with their caregivers in childhood set the stage for the quality of relationships they will develop with significant others in adulthood.
