This is my general website for clients and colleagues who would like to learn more about me. If you are seeking therapy, please visit my private practice’s website by clicking here.

Clients

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT 100070) in private practice who is especially passionate about working with teens, young adults, self-identified “nerds” of any kind, and individuals who are entrepreneurs, self-employed, and/or business owners. As a fellow nerd and entrepreneur, I understand a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for clients, and my theoretical orientation can be adapted to meet your unique needs.

Everyone experiences setbacks in life, which is why it’s important to me that your story be accepted without judgment. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is characterized by warmth, respect, growth, and humor. I believe in adopting a collaborative approach that emphasizes your strengths and focuses on solutions vs. dwelling on perceived weaknesses and problems. I utilize interventions that promote greater self-awareness and discovery of new skills that can be practiced between therapy sessions.

COLLEAGUES

For me, psychotherapy isn’t just a career – it’s a calling. That’s why I’ve also focused on supporting my fellow therapists as a leader and advocate within the mental health field.

I am currently the President-Elect for The California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and have served on several CAMFT committees over the years. Additionally, I have worked tirelessly to advocate for fewer barriers to licensure as a therapist, paid positions for associates as the norm, and full voting rights for prelicensed members of CAMFT.

I work as a consultant for SimplePractice, advising the Product and Customer Support teams regarding TrackYourHours’ growth and effectiveness in meeting customers’ needs. I also create content for the Marketing team to inform customers of recent legislative and regulatory changes that impact their work as mental health professionals.
