Hi there, I am glad you are here! I am a dedicated therapist based in California. Living and practicing in California, I appreciate the diverse backgrounds and unique stories that each of my clients brings to the therapeutic space. My goal is to foster a collaborative and compassionate environment where my clients can navigate the challenges they face, gain insight into their experiences, and build resilience for a more fulfilling life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I will work to establish a comfortable and trusting atmosphere. I will discuss how the therapeutic relationship will be a safe space for exploring difficult emotions. This may involve casual conversation to help you feel more at ease and to begin building a rapport. I will likely ask about your reasons for seeking therapy, your current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. This discussion helps set the stage for identifying therapeutic goals and expectations. I may encourage you to share your current emotional state and any concerns or anxieties you may have about the therapeutic process. This discussion helps clients have a clear understanding of what to expect in subsequent sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. I work to establish a secure and trusting alliance with my clients, creating a safe space for exploration and self-reflection. I am skilled in helping clients explore and understand unconscious thoughts and emotions. By bringing these hidden aspects of the mind into awareness, my clients can gain insight into patterns that may be contributing to their challenges. I aim to address the underlying issues that contribute to psychological distress. By exploring and working through these root causes, my clients are able to experience lasting and transformative change.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Currently, my focus lies in serving the adult population, particularly those who have faced the profound impact of trauma in their lives. I specialize in working closely with individuals grappling with depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to creating a safe space for clients to explore and process their emotions. Whether it's through talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, or trauma-focused interventions, I strive to empower individuals on their journey toward healing and recovery.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I assist my clients in developing the autonomy and tools needed to learn how to acknowledge, bear, and put emotions into perspective. I work closely with clients to focus on identifying problematic themes and relationship patterns affecting their lives. Guidance to honest intellectual self-reflection and self-examination is where my clients can become aware of the contributing factors to their psychological suffering.
