About me

I am licensed marriage and family therapist in California with 15 years of experience. I have worked with helping individuals manage the complexities of positively handling family conflict, trauma, abuse, parenting issues, and coping with life changes. My recent experience has been with working with student athletes and coaching staff.
 
I believe in treating everyone with respect, kindness, and compassion — regardless of age. I will modify our interactions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. If I have the pleasure of working with you, I strive to challenge you to see the positive side to the trials of life.
 
The teen years come with their unique set of challenges. I congratulate you on taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and joyful life. I am here to support you in that process. And I look forward to teaming with you in reaching your mental health goals.

So grateful for my therapist Brenda. She got me through some really tough times. Her experience in both clinical and spiritual therapy is exactly what I needed to navigate my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This helped give me clarity so that I can make sound decisions. Best decision I ever made was to reach out for help.

Work with me!
