I have 7 years of experience as a licensed psychologist working in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, medical clinics, and private practice settings. I completed a Masters degree in psychology from Pepperdine University and a doctorate in clinical psychology from George Fox University. I taught undergraduate psychology courses at the university level and have lectured and presented workshops internationally. I speak English and Spanish fluently.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will work with you to create positive changes whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship issues.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and EMDR to help you manage cognitive and emotional problems.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths is I am relateable and have a very practical hands-on approach to therapy. I'm happy to provide ongoing long-term therapy for complex issues but also value brief therapy if you are simply looking for a few tools to improve your situation.
