Hello I am a dedicated therapist who graduated from Antioch University in 2012 . I have worked at Las Encinas Hospital for 11 years before working for online platforms. I am committed to providing therapy to motivated individuals and couples. I provide a safe space for clients to share with me and we work together to achieve therapeutic goals. I enjoy helping clients discover coping skills which will make their life easier and more enjoyable. I enjoy working with anxiety, OCD, depression ,trauma, and substance abuse.

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

In the initial or first session I usually get to know the client and we would do an intake to see if we are a good match.If we are not then I would attempt to find another therapist that may be a better fit for the client . I would complete a risk assessment for the client and take information about an emergency contact. The intake would consist of the above and other information such as drug or alcohol issues, trauma, and anything else the client would like me to know. I would get family history information as well.

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

I am open minded, supportive, and empathetic . I enjoy working closely with the client ,providing a plan for success to reach specific goals.

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

I enjoy working with clients that are motivated for recovery. I enjoy working with many age groups and my clients usually need to obtain better coping skills to reduce their anxiety and depression. I am excited to listen to their needs and am hopeful that I can provide a path for successful outcome.
