Hi there, I'm Mercy. My job is to hold space for you; space to calm the storm, room to communicate with your commitment to self, and freedom to recognize the courage it took to get this far. I have over 27 years of experience working in various fields within the scope of psychology. I have worked with foster/adoptive parents and children. Social service work with Prevail (previously known as The Women's Center), various volunteer groups, community organizations, clinics, treatment centers, group homes within San Joaquin Co, San Diego Co., Sacramento Co., and more. I bring that level of experience and offer that knowledge base when relevant to our sessions. I have been both a client and a therapist. I believe in healing, helping and I hope to make a change.

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

My communication style: The session's tone is often led by deep breathing to center and prepare us for the work to be done. This type of tone allows us to take a moment to reflect and gives us space for thought on each topic. Therapy is hard work. No magic here. In session, we collaboratively seek to find that peaceful equilibrium. We explore mindfulness training (DBT), behavior modification (CBT), emotional regulation techniques, and consistent check-ins to monitor our progress.

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

My approach: I’m here to help with unconditional positive regard and solution-focused treatment options as we build our plan together.
