Hello.

I come to this work from a varied and rich array of past experience. I’ve also been a survivor of adversities and understand the deep commitment it takes to heal. I’ve always known that I wanted to eventually become a psychotherapist and I wanted to make sure to have enough life experiences and build my character more fully before embarking on this path. In 2019 I enrolled at Antioch University Los Angeles and earned my Masters of Applied Psychology degree. Since then I have attended numerous training, read countless books, and worked at well reputed training clinics like the Southern California Counseling Center and Airport Marina Counseling Service. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and know how to meet you where you are, working collaboratively in the direction you intend.
