About Me

I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Golden State Therapy. My specialities include treatment of trauma and stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, LGBTQ+ concerns, pregnancy endings, reproductive support and perinatal mental health. Having had field experience in crisis management and critical incident response, I also provide culturally competent therapy to First Responders and their families. In addition to EMDR Certification, I also hold certifications in Perinatal Mental Health and the Havening Techniques. My drive to become a therapist arose from a compassionate desire to support people in their quest to actualize the best versions of themselves—to move forward beyond obstacles and to manifest a sense of purposeful resilience. I believe that my clients are the best experts regarding their lives; therefore, I view the therapeutic process as truly collaborative.  My mindset is inclusivity and acceptance of all.
