About

I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families. I am licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC# 78440). I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s degrees in Intercultural Studies and Clinical Counseling.

My approach to therapy is to provide a space where people feel safe and understood. From that foundation, I work collaboratively with my clients toward their goals which may include stress reduction, work performance, processing past trauma, improving relationships, or treating anxiety, depression, or OCD.

My treatment approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder). With couples, I use the Gottman method and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.

I have been married for over 20 years and have three children. I enjoy a good book, trying a new recipe, and spending time with family and friends.
