Ultimately, I enjoy and thrive on connections with people. I pride myself on my unique ability to feel with others in a time of pain. Empathy, I believe, is paramount in providing therapeutic services.

I am an artistic person and appreciate art, music, and travel, etc. I have three children and have parenting experience with infants, adolescents, school-age children, and adult children. I enjoy swimming, skating, camping, the beach, jet-skiing, painting, and cooking. My formal education includes an associate degree in Public Health from American Military University, a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Psychology from American Military University, and a Master of Science Degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University where I obtained a dual licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Professional Clinical Counselor.

In therapy, my approach is solely based on meeting the client where they are in treatment, cultivating a safe non-judgmental environment while assuring that the client maintains a significant level of autonomy. I absolutely love working with couples and take a Gottman Theoretical approach to treatment. I have spent a lot of my time working with people to strengthen and help build relationships. I have also worked with people wanting to resolve personal or existential issues hindering them from living the best life possible.

Other modalities that I have experience with include, coping skills for trauma, anxiety, anger, and depression, psychoeducation, confidence building, grounding, meditation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. In addition, I have experience working with individuals struggling with chemical dependency, and severe mental illness, and or relatives of someone with severe mental illness, or chemical dependency. Usually, I take an eclectic approach which allows for clients to establish a sense of autonomy both in their lives and in treatment.
