I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist living and practicing in Ojai, Ca.

 

I see my role as a therapist to be a collaborator, educator and guide to my clients.

 

I create a safe and welcoming space for my clients to practice reflection, acceptance and growth around your their personal obstacles. Each client I work with has a unique opportunity for transformation as we collaboratively uncover an dysfunctional or unhealthy coping strategies they are currently using that are causing them to feel unhappy or stuck. Through my down-to-earth and competent therapeutic style, my clients uncover personal insights and functional strategies to apply in their lives for lasting change.

  

My priorities are to create a warm space to share struggles and to teach applicable coping strategies for my clients to implement in their lives.

 

I use a well-rounded therapeutic approach by utilizing a variety of psychotherapy methods such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Strength-Based Therapy. I focus on and teach a variety of healthy relational skills, communication skills, mindfulness-based strategies, anxiety-reduction strategies, trauma-informed strategies and resiliency skills.
