I believe in the value of building a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship to tap into your internal strength, self-expertise, and self-expression to promote growth and support healing. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, #126521, in California, and I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy from California Institute of Integral Studies in 2015.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Initially we will identify what's most important to work with in therapy relative to the context of your life and background and begin to explore what will be helpful and relevant insights. I work from a Person-Centered foundation utilizing approaches and interventions such as Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Expressive Arts Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and others to meet the needs of each individual client. Expressive Arts Therapy (the use of music, visual arts, writing, and other arts in therapy) is a powerful tool which can support growth and increasing awareness in conjunction with talk therapy interventions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I work from a trauma-informed perspective, with training and clinical experience to approach therapy through the lens of the complex influence trauma can have on all aspects of our lives. I strongly value diversity and utilize a multicultural perspective in support of social equality. I have a personal background as a musician, with a passion for song-writing and exploring sound as well as other forms of art. Times which are available to book on my calendar are typically recurring weekly or biweekly times, if other days and times are preferred on a recurring basis please let me know. I look forward to working with you!
