Who I am
My Practice
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. I have a B.A. degree from UCLA in English Literature with a minor in Women's Studies. I spent over a year working with eating disorders at an inpatient clinic as an Associate MFT. For the last three years I have been seeing individuals, couples and families covering a wide spectrum of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting issues, eating disorders and marital problems.
My Treatment Focus
I will help you identify and meet your personal goals using the most up to date, evidence based practices. You will understand yourself on a deeper level and be provided the tools and insight needed to bring about lasting change. I am skilled in a number therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Accceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have extensive training and experience in Gottman Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which I use in my work with couples. I have been trained in EMDR to help clients resolve trauma. I also received my 500 hour Clinical Yoga Practitioner training with a focus on trauma based care, which I use to help clients overcome physical manifestations of mental distress. I will use this broad range of knowledge to create an individualized, comprehensive and integrative treatment plan based on the personal needs of each client.
My Patient Promise
I feel honored to walk along the path to healing with each of my clients. I will bring compassion, empathy and my extensive life experience to my work and create an authentic connection within a trusting therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help you break free from painful experiences, relational patterns or coping strategies that keep you feeling stuck and unhappy.
