Hello, I am so glad that you are here! I know that finding a therapist can be a daunting task so let me share a little bit about myself. I have been working in the mental health field for 19 years. I started my career at a drop-in center, right on the beach, serving unhoused women living with severe, mental illness. I learned early on that making an authentic, human connection, builds trust and a solid working relationship. From there, I've had the absolute pleasure of serving many populations of diverse backgrounds including individuals, families, and the community at large. I have worked in community mental health programs in various settings including crisis centers, clinics, and specialized mental health response teams, and have provided outreach/mental health care on the streets. For the past 5 years, I have led teams as a Mental Health Clinical Supervisor and it has been my honor mentoring clinicians and peers. I provide clinical oversight, training, and administrative support to some amazing people serving our community every day. In addition to my full-time work, I do therapy! I have the gift of connection and the ability to bring about significant change using all of my training and expertise. Together, we can identify what is not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole-person approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. You deserve a safe place to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so that you can overcome what is holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Therapy is conducted virtually through secure video chats and is just as effective as face-to-face therapy. During our first session, I will provide a safe space to share your story, challenges, and learn about your goals. Together, we will develop a treatment plan and get to work on getting you back to balance!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use the following treatment modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Solutions Focused Therapy Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Attachment Based Therapy Grief Therapy Trauma-Focused Therapy
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have the gift of human connection and the ability to identify the best modality to meet your treatment goals. I have a special interest in complex trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and general stress. I have lived and worked in a diverse environment and I am comfortable treating people from all backgrounds.
