You are on a path toward healing. I would love to partner with you and bring my training and experience to support your healing and growth. My work as a counselor began 10 years ago in Colorado. I worked for a transitional housing program to help clients overcome addiction and other barriers to stable housing. I worked in a jail as a part of a rehabilitation program to reduce recidivism. I worked for a community mental health center with clients transitioning out of hospitalization or incarceration. I worked with adolescents in a community-based program to treat addiction and other systemic barriers to well-being. When I moved to California I worked for a family resource center to provide trauma counseling to children, adolescents, and families. I worked with individuals and couples, led process groups, and taught parenting classes. Now I have a private practice and am engaged in the wonderful healing community of Nevada County.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My hope is that clients will feel empowered after meeting with me. I believe you have the strength and ability to make the changes you want for your life. I see it as my job to create a space for you to realize those strengths in the ways that you need.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I work from Narrative, Existential, and Strengths-based modalities to help you find meaning in suffering and to create a new narrative. I also utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I provide therapy in English and Spanish.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I also help clients who have suffered trauma and loss. My strength as a counselor is my ability to create space for healing work. I will hear your story with compassion and partner with you to discover the next steps on your journey.
