Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have been in the field since 2012 and licensed since 2016. I have most of my experience in crisis work and trauma-based services. I have experience working with children, teens, young adults, and adults and have provided individual, family, and group therapy services in a variety of settings.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session will include getting to know each other, discussing the framework of our time working together, and exploring your goals for treatment, along with answering any questions you may have. If this is your first time in treatment, it’s normal to be nervous, but I can assist you with any worries! I also like to know your history with therapy and what has been helpful.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is having a presence that can allow you to feel seen, heard, and understood. This helps you to experience being vulnerable and authentic in a safe space and to carry those experiences with you outside of the therapy room, reducing suffering and increasing a sense of purpose and happiness in your life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I can best serve those clients in current distress, those who have experienced trauma, and those who have felt unheard and unseen in previous treatment experiences. I can provide a space to be vulnerable and your authentic self.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) involves stepping away from unhelpful black-and-white thinking that can keep us stuck and feeling depressed, anxious, and overwhelmed. I will assist you in learning and practicing the skills in each DBT component (mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation) that can help you find more success and less distress in your daily life.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you accept and cope with the common emotions and experiences that are part of being human, but can lead to distress and impact your wellness. Avoidance can keep us stuck, and often makes the distress worse! A key component of ACT is psychological flexibility, which will help you be in the present moment, adapt to various stressors, and live in accordance with your values.
Psychodynamic
I include a psychodynamic perspective and believe our early experiences affect us, and find it helpful to gain insight about their impact on our current emotions and actions.
