Therapy for Individuals and Couples

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #157883) in the state of California, I provide virtual/remote psychotherapy services to individuals across the state of California via Telehealth.

My areas of specialization are providing therapeutic treatment and support to women across the lifespan and the LGBTQ+ community. I treat a variety of presenting concerns, including navigating relationship challenges (both familial and intimate partner), gender/sexuality/identity struggles, trauma and PTSD/C-PTSD, traumatic pregnancies and births, the breaking of generational family patterns, rejecting and resisting of social or gender norms, codependency, boundary setting, improving self-esteem, and much more.

I also have experience treating a variety of un-listed presenting concerns and encourage you to contact me even if your reason for seeking therapy is not listed here. I am trauma informed, multiculturally competent, LGBTQ affirming, and BIPOC allied.

Please direct yourself to the “Contact Me” page for information on how to get in contact with me if you are interested in scheduling a free 15-minute phone consultation where I can answer any questions you may have for me and to see if we are good match.

About

Welcome!

I prioritize the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, and make tenants of compassion, empathy, gentleness, and warmth central to my work. I believe that life's challenges do not need to experienced alone and that there is immense value in having someone by your side to support you. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to hold space with clients and to be present with them as they experience the hard and the heavy of life.

I strive to create an emotionally safe environment for clients to engage in their healing, growth, and change processes. It is my hope that clients can explore whatever it is that's bringing them to therapy in ways that allow them to move toward a more fulfilled, embodied, and authentic life. I assist clients in exploring the context, history, and life experiences that contribute to their presenting concerns in order for clients to experience self-transformation. I want my clients to know that there are always ways in which to manage, cope, recover, and heal, and that suffering does not have to be permanent or lifelong.

All of my sessions are client centered and adjusted to meet the needs of the individual. Whether you are looking to process present day matters or historical issues, whether you are looking for action oriented change filled with tools and solutions, I get flexible in my approach to honor what you are needing in the present moment and to best support your mental and emotional health.

Someone willing to take the necessary steps toward personal growth should be applauded for their dedication to themself, even when the journey is hard or uncomfortable or vulnerable. I partner with my clients to empower and encourage them so that they are able to live content and healthy lives.

"At some point we have to understand that we
do not need to carry a story that is unbearable.
We can observe the story, which is mental; feel
the story, which is physical; let the story go, which
is emotional; then forgive the story, which is
spiritual, after which we use the materials of it to
build a house of knowledge." -Joy Harjo
