I am a licensed MFT clinician in California with 6 years of eclectic psychotherapy work experience. I thrive on collaborating/working with clients to help them process and manage stress, symptoms of anxiety and depression, a distorted sense of self, trauma from individual/familial abuse as well as the systemic factors therein, schizophrenia spectrum challenges/symptoms, and personality disorders (e.g., antisocial personality disorder and borderline personality disorder). I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while maintaining strong/healthy boundaries. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs as we work through what you desire to focus on. I have worked with a variety of clients in different mental health organizations and schools throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County. I am comfortable and have experience working with trauma-related stress disorders, isolation/loneliness and suicidal thoughts. I treat both adults and older teens (18 and over) through individual psychotherapy. I ask (Socratic) questions based on therapeutic timing and will provide evidence-based psychoeducation when needed, always moving the session with clinical intuition as the process unfolds.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the consultation (or initial intake) session, individuals can expect me to listen mindfully as I conceptualize some of the mental health challenges, asking a variety of questions to assess thoroughly, what's going on, clinically. I will reflect back my thoughts about what is happening in relation to emotional-psychological concerns and suggest a psychotherapy approach. You can then expect every session thereafter to be focused on psychotherapy strategies/methods (e.g., CBT, Jungian, IPT, psychoeducation, via clinical self-awareness).
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I constantly use a mindfulness-based approach to psychotherapy. Moreover, I do have a good gauge of what symptoms are coming up, which may be rooted in various life circumstances. This allows me to articulate to clients the plausibility of what is happening as a way for clients to reflect on and build awareness around. As a result, I can offer a psychotherapy space-modality (e.g., CBT, IPT, Jungian) for clients to process and progress towards their goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My preference and expertise is working with individual clients, 1-1, who have been exposed to mild-to-moderate anxiety/depression, considerable trauma, which have produced a complex psychological reaction (e.g., C-PTSD, OCD, General Anxiety Disorder, personality disorders, behavioral/substance addictions, and/or suicidal thoughts from major depressive symptoms).
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT for the last five years as an evidenced-based treatment modality, which I incorporate with mindfulness-based interventions.
