Therapy style
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist on the Central Coast of CA with 16+ years of experience. Life can be difficult... you don't have to struggle through it alone! Sometimes you need an objective professional to help you gain a better understanding of the ways that you have become stuck. As your therapist, I’m here to do that. I offer you a safe space without fear of judgment to explore your concerns and help you make the changes in life that you desire.
My counseling style is empowering, supportive, and direct. I utilize a variety of clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gottman Method, Solution-Focused, Attachment Theory, Family Systems, and Motivational Interviewing. My goal is for you to leave sessions feeling hopeful and empowered, with a concrete plan of steps/actions you can take to implement change.
I look forward to getting to know you, helping you achieve your goals, and experiencing greater peace and joy in your life!
