Pronouns: she/her
Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee
Under The Supervision of Jason Newman - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #100091
I am currently in my final year of the MA in Marriage and Family Therapy program at Touro University Worldwide. I am passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate life’s transitions, challenges, and developmental milestones. I believe that these experiences can shape our emotional and relational well-being, so I strive to create a space where clients feel understood and supported as they explore their experiences and work toward meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is integrative, culturally responsive, and client-led because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach. I value getting to know each person as a whole, and my goal is to meet clients where they are to honor their unique experiences and perspectives, and to collaborate with them in a way that feels authentic and supportive.
Outside of my work in therapy, I am a self-proclaimed “plant person.” Before pursuing a career in mental health, I earned my undergraduate degree at UC Davis in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems, with a focus on food and society. My experiences working with plants and communities continue to influence the way I think about growth, connection, and well-being. I bring that same curiosity and appreciation for growth into my work with clients, recognizing that meaningful change takes time, care, and the right environment to "take root."
