Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Morgan Hill, California. I received my Masters from the University of San Francisco and have been practicing for 11 years. I specialize working with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and interpersonal relationships issues. I help individuals navigate through symptoms, process past trauma, and improve self-esteem. I believe in a whole-person care approach, where every aspect of your life is considered in therapy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am passionate about providing honest and open therapy that helps clients explore their lives and move towards change. My approach to therapy is honest, strength-based, and empathetic.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches you coping skills for dealing with different problems. It focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and actions.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT therapy) is a type of mindful psychotherapy that helps you stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. It aims to help you move forward through difficult emotions so you can put your energy into healing instead of dwelling on the negative.

Attachment-based

Attachment therapy -helps clients build meaningful connections and feel safe and comfortable in their relationships. It can help people address thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal exchanges that they've learned to suppress or overemphasize due to early attachment experiences.

Strength-Based

Strength-based therapy is talk therapy that guides you toward a retelling of your personal history of traumas, stressors, and pain with more emphasis on yourself as a survivor than as a victim, and more emphasis on your strengths and survival skills than on your weakness.

Trauma-Focused CBT

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) helps children, adolescents, and their caregivers overcome trauma-related difficulties. It's an evidence-based treatment that combines cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic techniques with trauma-sensitive interventions.
