Empathy, Understanding & Experience
As a therapist, my approach is grounded in the belief that each individual is unique and deserving of personalized care. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, concerns and experiences. I aim to create a warm and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable opening up about their struggles. I strive to cultivate a strong therapeutic relationship built on empathy, trust, respect and understanding. My clients often say that they feel “seen” for the first time ever in our sessions, and that is so rewarding.
I prioritize creating a collaborative relationship with my clients, where we work together to identify areas of concern and develop a treatment plan that feels achievable and meaningful. I utilize an integrative and tailored approach to therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based techniques. I offer tele-health sessions and am accepting new patients from anywhere in California.
Ultimately, my goal is to empower my clients to achieve their full potential, both in their personal lives and in their relationships with others. I work with individuals and couples, as well as teens and adults. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, domestic violence/interpersonal violence, and addiction. I am also in the process of seeking certification in Sex Therapy (AASECT), with which I am able to treat issues related to mismatched desire, infidelity, infertility, porn addiction, sex addiction, psychosocial & cultural barriers to intimacy, sexual identity struggles, as well as ENM and poly dynamics. I believe that therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and I feel honored to be a part of each client's journey.
