I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a San Diego, California local. My biggest joys in clinical work come from helping people improve their relationships across the board and feel more confident in understanding their emotions. I enjoy working with individuals, families, and couples who want to improve their communication and connection. My clinical experience began with elementary and middle school students and their families and in doing play and art therapy. To me, this is best done in-person. Other specialty populations I have experience with are survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, people experiencing chronic health and mental health issues, and those dealing with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I like to incorporate humor and various media resources (books, podcasts, music, handouts, phone apps, and social media) into sessions. Resources and outside work done by you is crucial as the time I get to spend with you is limited compared to the time you have your own reinforcing thinking and behavior patterns. My goal is to help you harness your supports and resources so that you can enjoy your life fully. I tend to work from a more person-centered and insight-oriented framework and utilize elements of Carl Rogers, Bowen Family Systems, Attachment, CBT, DBT, and systemic theories.
