About Me

Background & Approach

We all have things in life that bring us pain and impact our view of ourselves, others, and the world. These views can become taxing and can leave us feeling stressed, depleted, or lonely. In our work, you will have the opportunity to be heard in a safe space, to honor and acknowledge situations that may have contributed to current struggles and have support in making manageable changes in your daily life, building toward long term change.

​

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California (LMFT #112307) throughout the state, primarily in the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, Colorado (MFT.0002217) in the Denver and surrounding areas, and Florida (Telehealth Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist TPMF1663). I obtained my masters in marital and family therapy with an emphasis in medical family therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2016. I have been practicing for 10 years and have extensive experience working with children and families in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. In more recent years have moved to providing tele-health in order to increase accessibility to therapy support for clients throughout the states. Since this transition I have a much heavier focus on providing therapy to young adults and those experiencing stress from pregnancy, trying to conceive (TTC), and postpartum depression and anxiety. 

​

In our work, I will draw primarily from attachment theory alongside emotionally focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to facilitate healing through developing understanding of how current patterns came to be, processing stored emotions and developing understanding of why you may find yourself returning to patterns that no longer serve you. I also will work alongside you to develop concrete strategies to address daily struggles and better understand yourself. I strongly encourage client feedback and honesty in sessions, both in your application of insights and strategies in your daily life and also in your experience in therapy sessions with me. Everyone experiences therapy in unique ways and we will tailor sessions to your specific hopes and needs.

​

I appreciate your bravery in this moment and know it takes courage to even start searching for a therapist. I hope you find what you are looking for and to hear from you soon.
