I provide person-centered/strength based/trauma informed therapy with a belief that each client is the expert in their own life. I have 15 years of practice in the mental health field and utilize a variety of approaches to assist others in reaching their goals including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Informed Care (TIC), and Positive Psychology.
During our first session, let's look at what you want and what you don't want in your life. After all, these are your goals, they need to be meaningful to YOU. Once establishing where you want to end up, let's explore your personal strengths and how those assets can be helpful in reaching your goals.
I believe that the best therapeutic outcomes are a result of a good working relationship between therapist and client. In forming this relationship, I exercise compassion and authentic hope in every client's ability to achieve internal peace. Feel free to call me directly for a free phone consultation at (949) 391-6031
I work with clients who are experiencing disruptions in their life. If you are experiencing low self-esteem, life transitions, stress, emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety or you have witnessed one or more traumatic events, please contact me for support @ (949) 391-6031. You have the option to schedule an intake assessment or engage in a brief consult to see if I am the right fit for you as a therapist.
I apply Attachment-Focused Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing for acute and chronic symptoms associated with trauma, depression and anxiety. In my experience, using this modality allows clients to actualize their full potential and wellness.
I utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to teach clients mindfulness, healthy forms of coping, emotional regulation, and methods for improving relationships.
For those wanting a highly structured approach, I make use of CBT principles to improve behavioral and thought patterns that keep holding us back in life.
