My therapeutic approach is grounded in compassion, empathy, and collaboration, as well as the use of evidence-based modalities. I believe in the power of connection and the importance of building a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe environment. I adhere to ethical and professional standards set by CAMFT and APA, including maintaining confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, and addressing ethical dilemmas that may arise in the therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families, and groups with treatment plans created for each client's goals and needs.

I like oil painting, hiking, meditating, and spending time with my family and dog.

I meditate for at least 40 minutes each day.

The Secret because I believe in its suggestions of manifesting life as I would like to live it.

St. Jude, because I have been a donor for some time. I believe my contribution helps families who can't afford treatment for their child's chronic illness. This allows the family to support their child in healing.

I get at least 8 hours of sleep and exercise daily. I like to take vacations in warm climates when I need more time to recharge.

I have a 4-year-old dog named Beni. We got him from the Humane Society during the pandemic when he was 10 weeks old. He was shaking and anxious when we saw him but became immediately calm when I held him.
