*I am currently NOT accepting couple sessions who have any type of Medi-cal as their insurance* Hello and welcome! I'm so glad you have taken the steps towards self-improvement, and hope this will be a good match. I have worked in various settings over the last 10 years from school-based therapy, juvenile detention, group private practice and now telehealth. I enjoy working with a wide population, including individuals, couples and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and BiPolar II disorder to name a few. *I am currently NOT accepting couple sessions who have any type of Medi-cal as their insurance*
In a first session, I will confirm contact information, we will review the intake form and complete any incomplete portions. This will usually take us to the half-way point. After, the rest of the time is for the client to address why they are seeking therapy at this time. With the last few minutes, we will go over scheduling and goals you would like to set for yourself on this journey.
When we work together, I hope you take away that I am friendly, personable, and honest. I take an eclectic approach when I work with clients, and sometimes it's more than therapy. I help people with life skills that they need to be most successful when they have no one they trust to help them.
An ideal client is someone who is truly ready to make some positive changes in their life; is open to hearing feedback about the potentially negative role/habits they may play in their own and other's lives, taking accountability when necessary. Coming to therapy isn't something to just "check off the list." It's about putting in the work, being open, honest and vulnerable.

Utilizing CBT, we identify how your thoughts affect your behaviors and influence feelings
I utilize this to work with clients to better understand how early developmental years were affected by those we trusted most, and how those past relationships affect the "now."
This is most effective for those who have difficulty self-regulating when in a dysregulated state, learning to "ride the wave."

I am so thankful to find a therapist I can comfortably have an open conversation with. I trust her advice and love that she pushes me to my potential. She makes therapy a joy even when some of the self work is difficult.

She is very sweet , open minded , and understanding she was very attentive the whole time I was speaking and let me speak and tried to not cut me off which I really appreciated.
