About
Welcome to my little corner of the internet, a safe haven dedicated to supporting and empowering women on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. Founded by a woman for women, my practice is rooted in the belief that every woman deserves to thrive emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.
With a compassionate and holistic approach, I provide a nurturing environment where women can explore their emotions, confront challenges, and cultivate resilience. Therapy sessions are tailored to address a wide range of issues that women commonly face, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
As a woman, I understand the unique experiences and pressures that women encounter in today's world. Whether you're navigating career ambitions, managing familial responsibilities, or seeking to reconnect with your inner strength, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer individual therapy to women of all ages* to support the treatment of relational issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management, grief and loss. In my practice, I take a relational approach to therapy and rely deeply on the therapist-client connection in order to support meaningful change, uncover inner strengths, and instill hope for the future. Together, we can help you to feel empowered to harness your innate resilience and live authentically.
*I predominantly work with women ages 18+, however I am open to screening 15-17 year olds who are interested in working on managing anxiety, self esteem, body and relationship issues.
My Approach
I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important part of therapy. Yes, I have the clinical skills, knowledge and experience to provide treatment but that is only a portion of what successful therapy looks like. I am here to embrace and hold space for your story in the room while we work together in achieving your goals. Treatment should be catered uniquely to each client and the experiences they hold.
My Story
I am deeply passionate about women’s mental health. I have been practicing in the mental health field since 2014. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and their families in both individual and family settings. I currently provide individual therapy to support the treatment of women issues, relational issues, stage of life changes, anxiety, depression, and stress management. I focus on utilizing a client centered, humanistic therapeutic approach with the intention of supporting individuals to discover their strengths, instill hope and offer empathy in order to find help them find connection and inspire change.
After receiving my Bachelors degree in Psychology from San Francisco State University, I went on to pursue my Masters in Counseling/MFT from California State University East Bay. I am also an active member in the community that I live in.
In addition being a therapist, I am also a mother. Family and friendships are the main ingredients in my life. In my free time, I enjoy cultivating a sense of community through hosting get togethers with friends and enjoying the small things in life like a hot cup of coffee.
