I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. My therapeutic approach is integrative, multicultural focused, collaborative, and strength based. I like to meet people where they are at, utilizing evidence-based practices, and tailoring therapy to each individual with respect to their cultural backgrounds, and their intersecting identities that they bring into the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help people make changes that allow them to live and function at their highest potential.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will get to know each other by discussing my professional experience, and me gathering information about your experience. We will complete an assessment, which includes why are you seeking therapy at this time, address any questions or concerns you might have, what kind of therapy/therapist you are interested in, identify a diagnosis (if utilizing insurance), and identify therapy goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've been given consistent feedback that one of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe space for clients to feel seen, heard, respected and supported. Therapy is a relationship and I bring my authentic self into the relationship. I utilize my communication style of being relaxed, personable, open, humorous, cooperative, compassionate, and supportive to help clients feel comfortable.
