Welcome to my Practice!
Thank you for considering me to work alongside you or your child as you embark in a journey of personal growth, self awareness and transformation.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), Registered Sandplay Practitioner (RSP), SoulCollage® Facilitator & Immediate Past President of the California Association for Play Therapy. I offer a holistic, trauma informed approach to therapy that focuses on the underlying issues instead of just treating the surface symptoms.
My practice integrates Jungian Psychology, Attachment Theory, Sandplay Therapy, Play Therapy along with other forms of Expressive Arts Therapies that can facilitate unconscious material to come to the surface for processing at a pace that feels right for each client. All forms of Expressive Therapies are a complement to talk therapy and are suitable for all ages, including adults.
Currently I am working with children 8 & up, teens, as well as adults seeking personal growth, healing and empowerment of their inner child.
I have particular interest and experience in the following areas:
I have experience working with intact, divorced or separated families, military, blended, adoptive and foster families, immigrant and multicultural families, same sex couples, as well as single parents and children raised by their grandparents.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ friendly.
Sessions can be in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
