I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist working under the supervision of Susan Soderman, LMFT 98962. I have experience working with a wide variety of ages including children (3-17) and young adults (18-25), adults and families. Having worked in private practice, schools, community based agencies, applied behavior analysis, as well as daycare settings, has allowed me to support clients with diverse mental health needs. Throughout my professional experience, I have worked with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and externalizing behaviors such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Taking a client-centered approach, I strive to empower individuals to take charge of their healing journey. Emphasizing rapport building and the therapeutic relationship we will create a trusting and supportive environment. Utilizing a variety of techniques that I am especially passionate about including, but not limited to, the therapeutic use of art and play, as well as CBT, narrative and humanistic therapy, allows me to tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs regardless of where they are in their journey.

In my free time I enjoy a good book or spending time writing outdoors, although I also enjoy unwinding with a fuzzy blanket and a good show. You can also find me experimenting with all different types of art mediums from markers to resin. These are things I enjoy as my own self-care. By having a passion for learning I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my knowledge across all walks of life.
