Hello, and thank you for finding out if I am the therapist to help YOU! I am a compassionate, direct, interactive telehealth psychotherapist and healing arts practitioner licensed in California. I began assisting people through individual and support group sessions for anger management, self-care skills, parenting, and conflict parenting in 2011. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist experienced in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment to help those like you who are struggling to attain a more acceptable, satisfying, and productive life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session begins with a brief introduction, followed by an assessment of your challenges. In addition, I like to provide clients with techniques to learn how we respond to emotion. This will help us create a tailored plan for your needs and goals in our future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am an active client advocate, providing individual client-centered therapy-based treatment, techniques, and resources specific to your needs to promote socially acceptable behaviors and increased self-esteem. Dedicated to maintaining high standards of professional ethics to support people with mental health needs in the areas of depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, social issues, child and adolescent issues, marital and relationship issues, existential issues, and severe mental illness by teaching the importance of self-care and mental wellbeing. I look forward to helping you find your strengths to move forward to a brighter today confidently.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment effective for various problems, including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use issues, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT significantly improves functioning and quality of life (APA.org, 2017).
Narrative
Narrative therapy is a form of counseling that views people as separate from their problems and destructive behaviors. This allows clients to get some distance from the difficulty they face; this helps them to see how it might actually be helping or protecting them more than it is hurting them. With this perspective, individuals feel more empowered to make changes in their thought patterns and behavior and “rewrite” their life story for a future that reflects who they really are, what they are capable of, and what their purpose is, separate from their problems (Psychology Today, 2022).
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is one of the world's most widely used treatments (De Shazer, 2007, Hsu, 2011). Unlike traditional forms of therapy that take time to analyze problems, pathology, and past life events, SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring one's hope for the future to find a quick and pragmatic resolution to one's problems. This method takes the approach that you know how to improve your life and can find the best solutions with the appropriate guidance and questioning (PsychologyToday.com, 2022).
