Welcome to my profile! Thanks for stopping by. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, a Registered Art Therapist and EMDR trained. I help teens and adults who are struggling with a variety of mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression and ADHD. The path towards healing from traumatic experiences can seem insurmountable. I am here to tell you; healing is possible. You can expect a collaborative process where we will explore how your mental health is impacting your life and come up with goals to help you cope with and overcome challenges.

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

Rapport building and collaboration with clients is very important when starting therapy. During the first session, you will be given the opportunity to identify your present challenges and goals for therapy. I will encourage you to ask questions about my skills and background. We will explore treatment options, discuss potential modalities for therapy and create a therapy road map filled with possibilities.

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

My greatest strengths are my warmth, compassion, patience, and creativity.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I have been using EMDR for 2 years. It has helped clients by reducing the intensity of emotion connected to traumatic memories. My approach to EMDR is collaborative, compassionate and supportive. We work on building self-worth and resilience by transforming negative beliefs into strength-based beliefs. The process begins with individualized treatment planning and assessments. When a client is ready, they are guided to process traumatic memories simultaneously with visual or tactile bilateral stimulation. Clients have reported greater ability to self-regulate when faced with triggers and increased ability to cope with personal challenges and feel less overwhelmed.

Trauma Informed Care

I have 12 years of experience as a trauma-informed therapist. I believe people have the tools to heal, grow and face difficult life challenges. You will be guided to discover your inner strengths as a resource to heal from traumatic experiences and take on difficult life challenges.

Strength-Based

Many people struggle with negative beliefs that create barriers to their wellbeing. I have 12 years of experience as a strength-based therapist. We will build your resilience by focusing on the inner strengths and resources you already have. I will encourage you to notice the times you overcame difficult challenges and use present challenges as opportunities for growth.
