I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist from Santa Monica, California.  Being born and raised in Los Angeles has allowed me to gain experiences and connect with people from all cultural and economic backgrounds.  As a bicultural woman, growing up in this dynamic city has been a privilege and a challenge to navigate. My life experiences have prepared me to be the therapist to support your needs. 

My professional journey started with earning a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Long Beach State University in 2005. This interest led me to work as a special education teacher's assistant for three years before obtaining a special education teaching credential. Over the next five years, I served as the lead teacher for neurodivergent children.  Transitioning to a role as a family assistant allowed me to combine my passion for education with my love for nurturing others.  

My journey progressed with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. Through ongoing education and a traineeship at a community mental health clinic, I became confident this was my calling.  Providing therapy and being able to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds comes naturally. Facilitating parenting support groups became a way to use experience with children to offer valuable insight to parents.  These groups will continue to be provided at Noelle Therapy.  

I have devoted my life to supporting the needs of families and children.  My extensive experience working with people of all ages has equipped me to offer deep understanding, a non-judgmental environment, and compassionate support. 

Looking forward to being a part of your therapeutic journey!
