EDUCATION AND TRAINING

I earned a Master of Arts degree in Psychology with a dual emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling at Brandman University. After having graduated I was employed at a non-profit agency working with children and families in the child welfare system. Many of my clients were victims of abuse and neglect. I worked closely with children, parents, and caregivers focusing on strengthening the family system and addressing early childhood trauma. Before having earned my Master’s degree, I worked in Applied Behavioral Analysis with children on the Autism Spectrum. I also have experience working with the severely mentally ill, as well as the elderly. 

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH

I am very eclectic in my therapeutic approach and find value in several therapeutic orientations such as Humanistic/Existential, Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapies. I am very client centered and believe in meeting my clients where they are at. I truly believe in the power and efficacy of therapy and like to provide a safe space for clients to explore and process their unique life experience.
