I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Californi am a mental health specialist who has been in the private and non profit services for children and adolescents for over 25 years. I use a variety of healing modalities including expressive arts and experiential learning practices. I hold the belief that many of life’s challenges including mental health can become strengths and lead to deeper meaning and purpose.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My biggest strength is my extensive experience working in all areas of the mental health field. I also have multi-cultural training and life experience.
My specialities consist of play, art and experiential learning practices with children and adolescents. I work with adults and families using a variety of methodologies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I consider myself to be trauma informed in my work. I am also skilled working with specific diagnoses such as depression, anxiety and trauma.
My masters degree in Counseling, MC, was based all on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also have additional training via UC Davis on CBT-I, Insomia and CBT-P, Psychosis
