As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California, I bring over seven years of clinical experience and hold a Master of Arts from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. My practice is centered on providing individualized, evidence-based interventions to help clients address and overcome maladaptive emotional and behavioral patterns that hinder optimal functioning and satisfaction in life. Drawing from personal experience and empathy, I strive to support individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, social pressures, ADHD, and trauma, all within a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll build a collaborative relationship by discussing your recent feelings and experiences, allowing me to understand your concerns and begin creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs and goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Motivated by a passion for helping others thrive, I became a therapist and have personally benefited from the same techniques I share with my clients. Supporting others in their journey toward lasting well-being is both a privilege and my commitment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My style is ideal for adults facing low self-esteem, relationship challenges, depression, or difficulty with boundaries, especially those motivated for self-reflection, breaking unhelpful patterns, and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This process involves practical exercises and reflective techniques that empower you to challenge automatic thoughts and replace them with more balanced and constructive perspectives. By developing these new thinking habits, you can cultivate greater resilience, emotional well-being, and a more positive outlook on life.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Through Mindfulness-Based therapy, I support my clients in developing a stronger awareness of the here and now. My approach encourages them to move away from ruminating on past experiences or feeling anxious about what lies ahead. By integrating mindfulness techniques and grounding practices, we work together to maintain a connection with our bodies and immediate environment, cultivating a greater sense of presence in daily life.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
I have also practiced Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for over seven years. My approach centers on helping clients explore and understand their emotional experiences, building stronger connections both within themselves and in their relationships. Through EFT, I guide individuals to recognize underlying emotional patterns and work toward healing, fostering a safe environment for genuine emotional expression and growth.
