Well, hello there! I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in sunny Orange County California and I'm happy to help you get your life together! With over 3 years of experience in the field and 10 years in addiction treatment, I'm basically a superhero. My own experiences in therapy and recovery have given me the power to help others transform their lives. Whether you're dealing with relationship issues or family drama, I'm here to provide a unique perspective and make you laugh along the way. So, let's get started on this wild ride together! I offer therapy service for individuals, couples and families who may be struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, sex issues, gender identity, LGBTQIA+ challenges, communication issues, body image and distorted eating experiences. My therapy services are available Thrival Therapy, INC.
Becoming a therapist has been an absolutely amazing journey for me! I've always had a passion for helping people and have been inspired by so many others before me to pursue this career. I absolutely love learning about people's behaviors, communication styles and relationship needs. I never tire of hearing people's stories and life experiences. When I'm not busy being a therapist, you can find me indulging in my love for all things Disney and Harry Potter, playing with my adorable puppy and building Lego creations. I also enjoy staying active with swimming, pilates, tennis and whipping up delicious meals and treats in the kitchen. Being involved in community work and in 12-step programs is also a huge part of my life. And of course, spending quality time with my amazing husband, friends and family always puts a smile on my face!
