I have a combined 20 years of experience as a counselor/therapist in my field. I received my Masters degree in 2003 from California State University. I have spent most of my career guiding adolescents and adults through a variety of challenging life experiences that can impact a person emotionally and mentally. I have assisted clients in overcoming a variety of challenging situations by recognizing their inner strengths and learning to overcome lifelong fears and self-doubts. It is my mission to help you live the fullest life you can and say no to limiting self-criticisms. This is what inspires my practice. I draw from a variety of therapeutic models and theories because I know that there is no one size fits all approach to understanding you and your life experiences.

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

In our first session together, we’ll start with a brief introductions, review your motivation for seeking therapy, then dive into specific challenges, you’re facing. This will help me to create a plan for us to work through and future sessions together.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I often utilize Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Humanistic theory, and Self-Compassion models. I have extensive experience working in both in-patient and outpatient treatment for depression, anxiety, substance abuse treatment, relationship issues, family conflict, grief and loss, and coping with phases of life changes.

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