about me

Therapeutic Approach

I work with individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and many other life stressors that have left them feeling lost. By working together, it is my goal to help build insight into your own unique experience and help you ascend toward the fullest version of yourself.

I specialize in EMDR, which is an evidence-based approach found to be effective in treating trauma and many other mental health issues. I also provide traditional talk therapy to help gain awareness of how behavior patterns and relational dynamics impact daily life.

I prefer a collaborative approach to determine whether EMDR or traditional talk therapy is best suited for your individual needs during the first session.

Background

I received my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2014. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have a background working in community mental health and private practice.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and currently pursuing certification. I am also certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT). I am passionate about pursuing ongoing education and trainings to best support my clients.

The security of the therapeutic relationship is where the healing occurs. This is why it is important for rapport that you feel heard. I believe that you are the expert of your own life and it is my desire to help guide you from despair to resilience.
