I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Orange County, CA. My therapeutic services are aimed at supporting a wide range of clients, from children and young adults to parents, families, couples, and elder adults. I strive to help my clients cultivate self-awareness, self-love, and a sense of peace and wholeness as they navigate the path toward healing.
My approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in humanistic principles. I draw upon various modalities including mindfulness, attachment theory, family systems, EMDR, art therapy, play therapy, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and cognitive behavioral models. I tailor my approach to best suit the unique needs of each individual client.
My focus
I work with clients across the lifespan, including individuals, couples, and minors aged 13-17. My areas of specialty include adolescent/teen issues, anxiety, career counseling, chronic pain, cultural stress, depression, family conflict, grief, job stress, life transitions, and stress management.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow and make positive changes. Collaboration is key - I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to identify goals and navigate challenges.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts (MA) degree from the University of San Francisco between August 2013 and May 2016. This rigorous training provided me with a solid foundation in marriage and family therapy, equipping me with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively support my clients.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal is for you to feel empowered, experience personal growth, and take meaningful action in your life. I aim to support you in increasing self-awareness, developing coping skills, improving relationships, and moving towards greater well-being and life satisfaction. Through our work together, I hope you will gain fresh insights and tools to navigate life's challenges with increased resilience and confidence.
