I RECEIVED MY BACHELORS IN PSYCHOLOGY FROM CAL POLY POMONA AND THEN RECEIVED MY MASTERS IN CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY WITH AN EMPHASIS IN MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY FROM PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY. I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THERAPY IN A VIRETY OF CLINICAL SETTINGS BUT SPENT A MAJORITY OF MY EXPERIENCE IN PRIVATE PRACTICE AND A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL.

     I HAVE WORKED WITH MANY DIFFERENT PRESENTING ISSUES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: ANXIETY/DEPRESSION, ADDICTION, MOOD DISORDERS, LIFE TRANSITIONS, TRAUMA, AND FAMILY/COUPLES ISSUES; I AM ALSO TRAINED IN EMDR.

     MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS SIMPLE: CREATE A STRONG FOUNDATION THAT CULTIVATES TRUST, HONESTY, AND OPENNESS. I PULL FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THEORETICAL ORIENTATIONS, BUT MAINLY UTILIZE A MIX OF CBT AND SOLUTION-FOCUSED. I AM ALSO TRAINED IN EMDR. 

I AM MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT WORKING WITH WOMEN'S ISSUES AS THEY GO THROUGH DIFFICULT LIFE TRANSITIONS (PREGNANCY, BREAK UPS, ETC.) AS WELL AS TEENS/YOUNG ADULTS AND BEING ABLE TO WORK ALONG SIDE THEM THROUGH LIFE’S CHALLENGES. I AM HERE TO SUPPORT AND GUIDE YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TOWARDS HEALING.
