Pre-licensed Counselor

SHE / HER

Olivia holds an MS in Couple and Family Therapy from Purdue University Northwest and a BA in Psychology from Chapman University, with specialized education in working with sexuality and relationships. Olivia has completed Level 2 training in Gottman Method couples therapy and ongoing, advanced training in Psychodrama, an expressive arts modality. She has experience working with individuals, families and couples of diverse backgrounds and has expertise in working with couples experiencing gender transition.

Olivia believes that everyone deserves authentic, fulfilling connections and that relationships are the most fertile grounds for healing. She also understands how past relationships, trauma, mental health, and systemic injustice shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Integrating her own identities into her work, Olivia specializes in working with queer, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, and cross-cultural relationships and individuals healing from complex trauma and exploring identity.

Whether coming to therapy for your individual healing journey or to repair and strengthen a specific relationship, Olivia strives to honor each client’s unique story and build trust through curiosity and collaboration. Her approach is warm, candid, creative and action-oriented. In addition to her training areas above, Olivia utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy and somatic principles through a trauma-informed lens to help clients create deep, meaningful change.

Outside of the therapy room, you can find Olivia on a road trip, studying astrology or eating pasta with friends.
