LMFT, 12 years of experience
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).
During our first session we will work to get to know each other and build trust. I will ask questions to better understand your presenting issue(s) and goal(s) for treatment. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have. By the end of our first session, you should have a good sense of what we are working towards and how we plan to measure your progress.
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.
I am in the best position to serve clients who are ready to engage in therapy and work towards their goals, even if they don't know what that looks like yet.
I use a range of interventions from EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused.
