About
I am passionate about empowering and supporting parents, children and families through connection, empathy, and healing. If you're feeling stuck, a loss of connection, or at a crossroads in life, I provide a calm and nurturing space to find new ways to grow, thrive and move forward. My work is strengths-based, client-centered and collaborative. I help clients break patterns of emotional pain and unhealthy behaviors passed down through generations, experience relief from anxiety and fear, and find their way through life’s most difficult challenges and transitions. I specialize in treating young adults, parents, children and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship/parenting issues, and life transitions. I am trained in DIR floortime, early childhood development, EFT, ERP for OCD, attachment-based therapy and SPACE for parents. I am an Associate MFT with a masters from Pepperdine University Parents are searching for balance- how can we instill resilience in our children & establish healthy boundaries, while remaining supportive and accepting of their emotions? I provide emotional support in conjunction with concrete strategies to better understand your children's and your own experience, and elicit positive change for your family. Specialties: I help individuals, couples, and parents struggling with relationship-based issues, life changes, and parenting challenges, to strengthen relationships and feel more calm, confident, and connected. Therapy includes identifying patterns, building communication skills, and practicing new strategies. Clients gain clarity, reduce conflict, and feel more prepared and supported in daily life. Credentials & Experience: My lived experience as a mom of two, and a previous 15-year career in the entertainment industry, gives me added insight and understanding of my clients' lives and issues they are facing. My years as a child-development specialist benefits my parenting therapy clients.
"I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach to therapy, integrating attachment-based models and CBT to support clients in setting meaningful goals, fostering healing, and building resilience. I meet each client where they're at, leading with empathy and compassion to provide comfort and healing, while using evidenced-based practices to give you actionable tools for healing and growth."
