For the past few years, I provided support to those struggling with diverse issues through varied roles. I served as a hypnotherapist to individuals, a host of Buddhist-inspired group meetings for addiction, and as an MFT trainee. Moving forward, as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (131179) and an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (11165). I intend to continue offering the same unbiased, non-judgemental, and open-minded support to those on their paths to healing and health betterment. I thoroughly enjoy my work, as well as my family, film, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, woodworking, and various other creative endeavors. 

I received my MA in Marriage and Family Therapy-from Alliant International University (Sacramento) and have been licensed for over 2 years as an LMFT. I have extensive experience working with severely emotionally disturbed children ages 5-18 and their families in the school, home, and community environments. I also have a background in adult community mental health, utilization review, case management and client advocacy. I have always been passionate about working with children and empowering them to use their individual strengths to thrive as they grow and work through life's obstacles and challenges. The therapeutic relationship is key and I strive to create that individually for each person I have the privilege to work with. 
"I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship."  Brene Brown  
I enjoy singing, crafting, thrift stores, coffee, exploring/travelling and hanging out on the beach with my husband.
