I have been practicing for over 10 years and it has been my passion from the beginning. I obtained my Master's degree at the University of Southern California with a concentration in Health and Mental Health. Working in mental health comes from a deep desire to help others. I have always been extremely curious and passionate about learning how the mind works and what drives certain behaviors. I am inspired by human resilience and I am privileged to be in a field where I am able to support others discover, learn about themselves, and heal from intergenerational wounds, unhealthy patterns, and so forth. I genuinely believe that you as the client are the expert of your own life and I am here to guide you through your individual journey and human growth. I provide a comforting, compassionate, and free of judgment space. My approach is collaborative and deeply rooted in trying to help you understand yourself better and where certain obstacles in your life may be coming from and how to make changes in order to create a fulfilling life. In sessions, you will notice that I will meet you where you are and guide you to continue moving forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first therapy session, I will gather information about your symptoms and ask open-ended questions to better understand you. We will explore and identify your needs, and together we will work on setting goals for your treatment. At the end of the session, I will provide you with an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach to therapy comes from a person-centered perspective. Other interventions and approaches include but are not limited to - Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Strength-based, Humanistic and Cross-cultural therapies.
