LMFT, 8 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT13476) with 4 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and families. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling and Social Change from San Diego State University and my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of La Verne. During graduate school I worked for a behavioral company and gained 3 years of experience working with children and adolescents with developmental delays to develop social skills and manage social anxiety. I conducted social skills groups to children of all ages to provide hands on interventions for managing social anxiety. I gained a majority of my experience working at DMH contracted agencies with children and adolescents who struggled with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I also spent several years working for the Victims of Crime program treating adults, children, and adolescents for trauma and depression.
Clients can expect the first session to be centered around gather helpful information that helps me identify goals for us to work on. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is most in important foundation of your mental health journey.
The biggest tool that I use is empowerment. I truly believe my clients are self capable and I am just there to hand them the tools they need to use.
I enjoy working with all age groups. I find that clients who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, or depression most benefit from my therapeutic style. I aim to empower my clients to take control of any unhelpful thinking patterns and help them become the best version of themselves.
I have been implementing CBT with mindfulness, Person Centered theory, and Solution Focused theory to address wholly address my clients symptoms. I strive to implement the cognitive restructuring with other theories to fully help my client fully understand and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that impact their moods. Overall I believe in addressing individual needs to help my clients achieve their best versions of themselves through the power of controlled thinking and regulated feelings.

The people who I've told about Group Therapy, I've recommended Rheannon. She's a great listener, gives a lot of affirming feedback, and chimes in now and again to keep us on track and in check with reality
