I have been in the counseling field for over 10 years, working with teens and adults, using evidence-based treatments to address a wide range of issues. I work using a multicultural and trauma-informed lens that allows me to understand your individual needs and meet you where you are in your journey. I am committed to providing an inclusive environment for all regardless of age, gender identity, race, health status, national origin, relationship status, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion. Whether you're dealing with stress, grief, sadness, loneliness, overwhelm, trauma, or negative relational patterns, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you've already made it this far. I will provide you with a safe place to heal and grow. Throughout therapy, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome whatever is holding you back. Let's work together! SCHEDULING NOTE: If scheduling yourself, I only see clients on the half hour (ex: 9:30am - not 9:15am or 9:45am).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My style of engagement is one of non-judgmental curiosity that focuses on client-centered collaboration. I believe each client is the expert in their own life. Together we can identify goals that are in alignment with your needs and desires and identify actionable next steps toward those goals.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Dialectical Behavior (DBT) EMDR Motivational Interviewing Narrative Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Strength-Based Trauma Focused Mindfulness
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I specialize in helping individuals negatively affected by trauma, struggling with mood disorders like anxiety and depression, or feeling stuck in negative relational patterns (work/school, family, romantic, etc.). I am committed to decreasing barriers to mental health services and offer telehealth sessions to clients living anywhere in California.
