Welcome

Some of our earliest attachments could have been healthy and at times they could have been traumatic. These memories pattern our way of attaching into adulthood. In therapy, we work together to reconstruct unhealthy attachment patterns, create new attachment strategies and strengthen what is already working for you. Taking this approach allows us to develop new coping skills and new interpersonal skills in order to promote a healthier life. 

I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have trained with Dr. Patricia Crittenden and have received two certifications: "Attachment, Neurodevelopment, and Psychopathology" and the "Adult Attachment Interview". I am also certified in "Child Parent Psychotherapy" developed by Dr. Alicia Lieberman.  My additional experience in trauma informed evidence based practices, combined with these certifications, enables me to effectively work with children, adolescence, and adults exposed to trauma. I maintain a private practice in Huntington Beach, CA.
