Hey there! I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist from California with 40 years of diving deep into the world of mental health, spiced up with a dash of international flair. My journey has taken me through a Psy.D. program to complete in Clinical Psychology, a master's in Counseling Psychology, and a bachelor's in Sociology. Living and working across the globe has fine-tuned my knack for connecting with people from all walks of life. I'm all about helping you find your ‘Zen’ again, mixing and matching the best bits from CBT and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy to create a chill, judgment-free zone where we can work things out together.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session with me, you'll find a warm and secure space to openly discuss your experiences at your comfort level. We'll start by demystifying the therapy process, covering confidentiality, your goals for therapy, and our collaborative approach. I'll conduct a thorough assessment to grasp your background, current challenges, and aspirations from therapy, ensuring your needs guide our journey. This session is an opportunity for you to voice any questions or concerns, laying the groundwork for a trusting and cooperative relationship. My aim is for you to leave feeling acknowledged and supported, ready to embark on a positive path toward healing and growth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
So, what am I good at? I'm a listener and I get where people are coming from, which makes my space super welcoming. I've traveled to a bunch of different places, so I get the whole cultural mix and vibe, making it easier for me to click with just about anyone. I've been doing this for a while, so I've got a solid set of skills to help sort out various mental health puzzles. I like to mix things up and tailor my approach to what works best for you. Communication is my thing—I make sure we're always on the same wavelength. I'm all about looking at the whole picture, connecting mind, body, and soul. Plus, I'm constantly hitting the books and learning new stuff to make sure I'm giving you top-notch care.
