Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counsellor (LPCC) based in California (more specifically, the Bay Area region). I received my Masters from the Walden University and have been practicing counseling for 5 years. I am also a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider (C-PD). I help adolescents, young adults, and adults with building skills and identifying tools to help them become accepting of themselves and have a more satisfying life. I also work with couples to help them learn healthier ways to interact and connect with eachother, along with being a more cohesive unit if they have children.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then explore the specific struggles you're facing. This will help us collaborate on a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in environments with clients of various severities of struggles, I've developed my skills in creating a flexible style to match each client. I have developed the skills to help clients (a) identify the root of their challenges, (2) identify motivations and values to help work through the cause(s), and (3) create a personalized plan that leads to measurable progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with individuals that struggle with mood and emotional regulation. My clients may struggle with their thoughts and emotions but are eager to improve. While motivation may waver, they are willing to explore how to bring their motivation back.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize this treatment method to help teach coping skills, grounding skills, understand thought distortions, and to understand how your thoughts affect your behavior. This treatment method can often include a small amount of homework.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I utilize this treatment method to help clients build skills to manage the emotions that affect their behaviors. These skills include distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and how to develop improved relationships. This treatment method can often include a small amount of homework, including completing a daily diary card.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I utiilze this treatment method to help clients identify their values, which can help boost their motivations and build more satisfaction and acceptance in their life. I often integrate this into my CBT and DBT treatment methods.
Motivational Interviewing
At times, finding motivations for long-term change can be hard. I utilize this treatment method to help find that strong motivation that will help create and maintain lasting change.
Integrative
I will integrate the various treatment methods to best match each unique client.
