Welcome to my page! *I am currently only accepting clients that are 18 or older* It can be quite overwhelming trying to find the right therapist, and it takes a huge leap of courage and humility to reach out for support. I'm proud of you for showing up for yourself. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the state of California with over 15 years experience serving clients from all walks of life who desire to heal from adversity, relationship issues, grief & loss, anxiety, trauma & stress across the lifespan. I'm passionate about empowering others to bring their life, career, and relationships into thriving alignment. Are you feeling stuck in your life? Are you struggling with work-related stress? Would you like to connect more deeply with others and have more meaningful relationships? Or perhaps you'd just like to experience more joy, ease and meaning in your life. You are not alone. Anxiety, depression and stress often show up when we are out of alignment with our deepest truths and what makes us feel truly alive. I work with individuals and couples to explore what is keeping them from flourishing and to discover unhealthy patterns so that they may experience deeper, more meaningful connections with themselves, with others as well as in their professional life. Helping you become more effective at responding to stress and challenges, with a better ability to pursue your goals and values in life is my passion! We are all doing the best we can with what we have been given and what we know. After having the privilege of working with hundreds of clients over the years, there is one thing I do know....that you are more than capable of healing and creating the change you deeply desire, and I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey. I am currently offering Telehealth therapy for adults (18yrs and older) residing in the state of California. I have focused my practice on virtual therapy only (using HIPAA compliant video software), allowing you to participate in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home or office. Let's dive in!
Everyone's story is unique, and every person deserves an individualized approach to treatment. Initially, I will provide you with a comprehensive psychological intake evaluation where we will determine the best treatment plan for your presenting problems. Clients appreciate my professional training and areas of expertise as well as my open, curious, and authentic approach to therapy. We will work collaboratively to create an evidence-based, individually tailored and integrative approach to therapy considering your unique needs, values and goals. I support individuals to look at all aspects of their lives - the physical, sexual, social/relational, professional, spiritual, nutritional, sleep and lifestyle habits as these have proven to greatly impact overall well-being and mental health.
My clinical specialty is in scientifically guided treatments for life transitions, grief & loss, relationship issues, stress & anxiety disorders. I utilize an innovative approach to treatment emphasizing empathic understanding & action-oriented skills training, using cognitive, behavioral, & mindfulness-based strategies to help strengthen a clients' adaptive responses to difficult emotions and events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) is one of the best-studied & effective psychotherapeutic methods and is often considered the gold standard of modern psychotherapy. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which aims to increase psychological flexibility in order to act according to our values in a constantly changing (inner and outer) world bringing more alignment and joy.
While I am trained and capable of treating a wide variety of mental health related symptoms and disorders, I'm clinically specialized and passionate about working with highly-stressed professionals, entrepreneurs & executives needing support around managing burnout, finding their unique balance and fulfillment in life & working through imposter syndrome. I truly enjoy working with adults struggling to navigate big life transitions and seeking growth and healing in their lives. I also provide CBT sex therapy related to desire, arousal, orgasm & pain with intercourse. I possess strong multicultural competence as a result of working with diverse patient populations throughout my career including LGBTQIA+ clients. I am also completely fluent and able to provide psychotherapy in Spanish.
