My passion and expertise is assisting clients on their journey to meaningful change, healing and growth. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is using modalities with an eclectic approach to meet the needs of clients. I have completed Gottman level 2 training and utilize Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help individuals, couples and families work through their challenges while discovering and highlighting their strengths, creating positive goals and moving forward to improve quality of life. I create a safe, open and warm environment to support clients develop healthy, fulfilling lifestyles and relationships. About me: I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, Specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. I also obtained a Master of Special Education from University of San Diego and have worked in education for over 10 years. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending time in nature. Taking that first step to recognizing the need for assistance is a strength and I look forward to working together.
