About Me

I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Southern California. During my schooling, I worked with children, teenagers and parents from varying economic and cultural backgrounds. In my time there I gained the therapeutic skills to work with students dealing with depression, anxiety, family conflict, self-esteem and grief. I also worked with sexual abuse survivors under the trauma informed model, and learned how to empower clients from being victims to people who thrive.

Following graduation, I worked at Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic where I worked with children ages 0-10. I am trained in Child Parent Psychotherapy, a trauma based model aimed to support and strengthen the relationship between a child and his or her caregiver. Through working with children, I discovered that often times parents of children will have unresolved trauma that would show up in parenting. It was then I began working with adults individually and used an eclectic approach to help individuals uncover past experiences in order to bring awareness into current patterns. After becoming licensed, I completed the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Training, a research-based roadmap for helping couples compassionately manage their conflicts, deepen their friendship and intimacy, and share their life purpose and dreams.

Currently, I work with children, adults and couples. As a therapist, I feel it is important to tailor my approach to each client differently depending on what they bring into the room.
