(she/her)
I am licensed in California with 13 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
This will be our first-time meeting, so it's important you know who you are entrusting with some of the most important details of your life. As much as I look forward to getting to know you, I want you to also know about me, my education and professional experience. After sharing a bit about myself, it's all about you, and I hope to create a space where you can feel comfortable and safe discussing your reason for seeking therapy. I will ask about your personal history and want to know more about any relevant experiences related to your mental and emotional well-being. These questions may feel invasive if you are new to therapy or mental health, but it gives me the opportunity to understand more about you and ensure I can best meet your needs as a clinician. Lastly, we'll go over the therapeutic process, expectations, and next steps for future sessions.
I believe my greatest strength as a provider is I truly value the work I do, and I know it is privilege to be of support to those on their journey. With that, I take my role seriously and strive to give my clients the best care and experience. Thus, I continue to expand my knowledge and remain a curious and learner. I am also adaptable, flexible, and compassionate clinician.
I best serve those who are willing to look inward and explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors honestly and authentically. I want to work with those who may be ambivalent about the experience of therapy, yet still show up and at least check it out for themselves. I want to work in collaboration to help you attain your goals and unlock new hope, while carrying the lessons of the past.
