California License #140221
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), offering evidence-based support for individuals, teens, couples, and families. I hold a clinical specialist certification in ADHD treatment and bring extensive experience working with neurodiverse clients. Some of my areas of focus include teen anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, identity development, trauma, grief, life transitions, motivation challenges, procrastination, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Specialized support for
Neurodiverse Clients
I work with neurodiverse clients from a neuroaffirming, strengths-based perspective. Understanding the unique challenges of neurodiverse clients, I work to build upon existing strengths to help clients reach their goals. My clinical approach is about acceptance, authenticity, and celebrating the individuality of each client.
Providing Trauma-Informed Care
As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand how past traumatic experiences, including cultural, historical and systemic factors, affect our mental health. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where trust can grow and healing can unfold at a pace that feels right for you. I provide empathy and care as you tell me your story.
