I specialize in treating high-level anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, infertility, and relationship difficulties. As your therapist, I tailor my approach to match the client's needs for continuous change, symptom relief, growth, and ignite personal change. I always had a passion for therapy. I knew at 7 years old this was my calling. I went on to study Sociology in my undergraduate years and went to the University of California, Santa Barbara. I then went on to get my Master's degree in Psychology from J.F.K University and graduated in 2008. In addition to my Master’s degree, I have an added emphasis of Somatic Psychology which is: ‘the study of the mind/body interface, the relationship between our physical matter and our energy, the interaction of our body structures with our thoughts and actions’. I pull from a multitude of theories and coaching techniques. Therapy can be long-term or goal-oriented with me. I find both have great advantages and I let the client guide me on that. I’m truly invested in our relationship and care deeply when working with clients. I work in Private Practice and have been a Clinical Supervisor for a Non-profit in the Bay Area. I appreciate doing private practice since I can have a deep, meaningful relationship that can help empower my clients and foster change.

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

In the first session I will ask questions around why you are coming to therapy now and get to know each other and see if we are a good fit. You are welcome to ask me questions are well as we are starting to build our relationship together.

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

My biggest strengths are listening empathetically, helping you with symptom relief, being a support system in your life, and helping you ultimately live your life to the fullest. I was to help you find what is personally meaningful to you and help you achieve that life. With my Somatic background, I'm able to help with anxiety and depression and teach you simple but effective tools that you can use when needed. I'm here to help you ignite personal change!
