I’m a Marriage & Family Therapist licensed in California and Montana. I have years of experience working with a wide variety of people dealing with a broad range of issues. With warmth and respect, I aim to create a space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered. Most of my work is with adults, but I enjoy working with clients of all ages, including children, teens, young adults, and elder adults. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, school and work issues, life transitions, and relational issues (including social, romantic, family, and work relationships). In our sessions, you are the expert on you; I am an educated consultant who will work collaboratively with you to understand your specific needs, meet you where you are, and help you grow in the ways that you desire. I appreciate that people don’t live in vacuums, and I strive to understand your unique situation holistically. My process is relational, person-centered, and trauma-informed. Together, we’ll explore how various factors may impact your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In my work with clients, I draw on evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which adds a focus on mindfulness and emotional regulation to the base of CBT, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), which aids in exploring, accepting, and integrating the diverse aspects of ourselves that may be in conflict at times. I may also tap into body-based, or somatic, practices, and I work on relationship issues from an attachment-based perspective that honors the emotional depth and needs that drive our relational behaviors rather than solely focusing on the problems that overlay these deeper patterns and needs. If you’d like to hear more about my methods, or share a little bit about yourself to decide if I would be a good fit, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d be honored to support you as you work towards healing and self-discovery.
