Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I received two Masters from Golden Gate University San Francisco. I have been working in community mental health for over 12 years. I help adolescent children, teens, young and older adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other related life stressors such as grief, adjustment challenges, family issues and career decision making

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together we will engage in introductions and then dive in to an assessment of what brings you to therapy. I will explore with you different areas of your life to identify life stressors that may be influencing the presenting problem. I will provide education where it is needed and discuss limits to confidentiality. We will also explore any past experiences you have with therapy, coping strategies and insight you've developed regarding the presenting problem. This will help us later set goals and identify the best approach to addressing challenges.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Listening without judgement to connect with client. Identifying client strengths and supporting client with somatic therapies, as well as education of anxiety and depression.

My treatment methods

Existential

This treatment method is used to support individuals with taking accountability for the change they want to see in their life, through increasing self awareness and proper management of the unavoidable anxiety we all face on a daily basis. I have developed this approach to my work through the years, supporting adolescent children, teenagers, young and older adults both in private and non profit sectors of community based mental health.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have used CBT over the past 4-5 years to support clients with depression and anxiety. Trauma can change the way we think and feel, leading to complicated emotions and distorted thinking patterns. This treatment method is used to educate on the impact of thoughts and feelings on the clients behavior, and to address unhealthy thinking styles that negatively impact how we see ourselves and the world around us.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have been using solution focused treatment with clients for over 8 years to help individuals determine their own solutions to life challenges based on their individual strengths. We can sometimes be the experts in our own issues. This treatment method is brief and it is used to assess the strengths of the client and explore the clients problem solving capacity, identifying person centered solutions to aid in their decision making process.

Psychoeducation

I have been using psychoeducation for over twelve years with clients to facilitate learning. This treatment method is used on a consistent basis to educate clients on challenges or threats to mental health, physical health and emotional health throughout the therapy experience. I have used the method to explain mindfulness concepts, trauma response concepts, primary/secondary emotions, symptoms of diagnosis, and effective communication skills.

Motivational Interviewing

I have been using motivational interviewing for over 12 years to support clients with finding the motivation to take critical steps to make decision and address their mental health needs. When experiencing low levels of motivation related to depression or anxiety, this approach helps clients to work towards sustained change.
