About Me
When you are going through a difficult time, the last thing you need is the added stress of finding a therapist. Yet, working with the right therapist for your needs is essential to getting the most benefit from therapy.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment so you can express yourself honestly and without shame. I am committed to creating an atmosphere where you feel accepted yet challenged and empowered to take purposeful steps toward healing and creating positive change.
I will work collaboratively with you with compassion and understanding to gain deeper insight into your life circumstances and your relationships. There are many factors and transitions throughout our lives that impact how we operate in our world presently. Psychotherapy can help you unravel and address what is preventing you from living your most rewarding life.
Throughout the course of your therapy, our work together will be tailored to your needs and goals. I will help you to build on your strengths and develop the skills to further your personal growth so you can live a more enriching life.
I earned my master's degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and have been practicing since 2011. Antioch's Clinical Psychology program was designed by integrating the principles of social justice and equitability throughout all courses and clinical work with the intention of developing socially proficient therapists, and that intent was not lost on me. I recognize that every person is unique, and I respect the diversity of individuals, couples, and families, traditional and non-traditional alike.
I am trained to work with people of all ages, and I have a specialization in child studies. I am currently treating children as young as age five, into adolescence, and I work with adults across the life span. My integrative therapeutic approach caters to the unique needs of each individual, family, or couple with whom I work.
For your convenience, I offer therapy sessions either at my Santa Clarita or Burbank office, where I serve the Greater Los Angeles area. I also provide virtual therapy services remotely during this challenging time and beyond.
If you are experiencing difficulties, give me a call today. I will work with you to resolve challenges in your life, overcome obstacles, and help empower you to live your best life.
