I commend you on taking the difficult first step towards seeking extra support during a challenging point in your life.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and graduated from Pepperdine University with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I specializes in working with children and adolescents within their family system, and utilize evidence-based practices such as CBT and motivational interviewing, along with my love for creative arts to engage children and their families. I believes it is important to recognize the role that a family plays in a child’s life, and therefore I often attempt to engage present family member’s in the child’s treatment. I also have experience working with at risk adults in a community mental health setting.
I work on individualizing my approach when working with different presenting challenges, such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and PTSD.
I look forward to working with you to help instill feelings of safety in order to explore ways to improve current symptoms and behaviors.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
