Eclectic

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Reaching out for guidance is a courageous and powerful first step toward healing and emotional well-being. I am very familiar with the pain of silent suffering I endured to get to the point of considering reaching out for help, and I truly honor the courage it takes to embark on this journey of self-discovery. As a therapist, I believe in walking alongside my clients in their path of healing, growth, and resilience. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and grounded in empathy and curiosity. I honor and integrate each client’s cultural background and lived experience, approaching therapy through a culturally sensitive and inclusive lens. .I value each person’s unique experience and strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where your story can be heard and held with care. Together, we will explore the challenges you’re facing and identify your inner strengths, knowledge, and the possibilities that are often overshadowed by problem-saturated narratives. My therapeutic work is rooted in Postmodern and strengths-based therapy practices, and I tailor treatment to each individual’s specific needs. Cultural sensitivity and inclusivity are central to my work, whether you're navigating relational struggles, identity shifts, life transitions, or inner emotional pain, I aim to support you in reclaiming your preferred way of living and in articulating your truth. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as an adjunct professor of psychology, where I help train and mentor future therapists—work that keeps me closely connected to the evolving conversations in mental health. I bring several years of experience across diverse settings—including private practice, community clinics, nonprofit organizations, and county outpatient agencies—supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression. I’m also passionate about supporting women through life transitions, including pregnancy, infertility, motherhood, and divorce, while helping them navigate relationship challenges and identity exploration. Additionally, I support clients from diverse cultural backgrounds who are navigating cultural identity development and acculturation-related stress. It is a profound honor to be allowed to hold space for your story. With compassion, presence, and care, I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey now they are askig me:Explain your experience with this treatment method and how you use it in your practice prepare an answer that aloighns withmy apporach ChatGPT said: Here’s a polished and aligned response to the question, “Explain your experience with this treatment method and how you use it in your practice,” based on your bio and your selected treatment method as eclectic: As an eclectic therapist, I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches to meet the unique needs of each client. My foundation is grounded in Postmodern and strengths-based therapies, particularly Narrative Therapy, but I integrate interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and attachment-informed approaches depending on the context and client goals. In my experience, no single method fits all, and I believe that therapy should be as dynamic and multidimensional as the people I work with. For example, with clients experiencing anxiety or depression, I might incorporate structured CBT tools to help challenge negative thought patterns, while also using narrative practices to help them re-author their experiences and reclaim a more empowered sense of self. My work is always collaborative and culturally responsive. I carefully consider each client’s background, identity, and lived experiences when choosing which approaches to integrate. Whether I’m supporting women through life transitions or working with clients navigating cultural identity and acculturation, I tailor the therapeutic process to reflect their worldview, values, and strengths. Ultimately, my eclectic approach allows me to remain flexible, creative, and attuned to each individual’s evolving needs—making space for both structure and story, skills and self-discovery.
