About Me
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT 110579) located in Novato, CA. I have been working with children, teens, adults, couples, and families since 2014. I utilize an integrative approach, which means I draw from my training and experience in multiple therapeutic modalities to tailor each session to meet my clients’ unique individual needs. I also utilize a whole person view of each of my clients, whether during individual or couples and family sessions, because I hold a profound respect for how our environments, social and family systems, and childhood experiences impact us and how we relate to others.
My style is warm, empathic, active, and practical. I believe therapy works best when there is a strong, collaborative relationship between client and therapist. You are the expert on your own life, relationship, and family, and my goal is to partner with you to learn about your experiences and bring my own perspective and expertise to help discover what your therapy goals and needs are.
I graduated from St. Mary’s College with a Master’s of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology and Marriage & Family Therapy. I have experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals in both nonprofit and private practice settings. Prior to starting my own private practice, I spent several years working in a school that served children and adolescents with emotional challenges that impact learning before transitioning to a mental-health startup where I honed my practice providing telehealth services to adults, adolescents, and couples. These experiences have provided me with a crucial foundation to support clients who come from a variety of different backgrounds and life experiences.
