Feeling overwhelmed? Are you exhausted but unable to sleep? Is anxiety or depression impeding on your work or personal life? Take a step towards change because healing is possible. I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing telehealth and in-person services in California. I mostly see clients who are struggling with PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship issues, grief and loss, sleep issues, and adjustment/life transition issues. My niche is working with First Responders and their spouses.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My goal is to provide you with a safe place to talk about your concerns, while exploring different perspectives and options in managing your difficulties. With every client, I encourage an open and honest relationship in order to effectively and therapeutically address your concerns. I am a big supporter in empowering clients to take steps towards gaining a sense of control, as well as a sense of happiness, in their own lives.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use evidence-based approaches known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also trained in Brainspotting.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
During my career as a psychologist, I have worked in several different settings such as the prison and hospital systems, group homes, and several outpatient treatment clinics. My client population has mostly been with adults suffering from mild to severe mental illness, in both an individual and group setting. I feel this vast experience has given me the knowledge and ability to work with very diverse populations. My niche is working with First Responders and their spouses.
