Hello
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Lic#156881, in California. I specialize in children and teens, though I have worked plenty of hours with clients of all ages, and all different needs. I primarily work with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma work, Personality disorders, Grief, and my experience and knowledge is always expanding. I pride myself in my ability to connect with my clients, build strong rapport, and establish trusting and respectful relationships. I give space for any and all difficulties that you want to bring to the table. I primarily enact therapy through a client-centered approach, though I tailor each individual client’s treatment plan and modality to their specific needs. I also have experience with CBT, DBT, Narrative, and Psychodynamic therapies. I do not believe in “One Size Fits All”, and I will support your unique needs, as long as you’re ready to do the work!
My Story
I was born and raised here in Redondo Beach. I attended California Lutheran University for my B.A in Clinical Psychology, and then Antioch University Los Angeles for my M.A. in Clinical Psychology. While in my masters program, I was working as a Registered Behavioral Technician, working with children diagnosed with ASD, and other related disorders. I then worked as a Case Manager and Group Therapy Leader at a Mental Health Outpatient PHP/IOP Program. My previous work experience has taught me a lot about advocating for clients, treating and diagnosing, and having exposure to a multitude of diagnoses and treatment modalities. Since my intern days, I have been practicing Individual therapy with clients of all ages. I have been working as a truly individual therapist since 2023, and I am always excited for new opportunities. I absolutely love my work, and getting to know my clients on a deeper level. I look forward to working together.
