Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) located in CA and I have been practicing for over 15 years. I work with adults who are seeking help with depression and anxiety (as well as other diagnoses), and individuals who are experiencing major life changes and/or relationship issues. I work in collaboration with each client and provide a safe environment to help them learn effective ways to communicate, positive coping skills, and ways to engage in self-care.
In our first session, I want to learn about you as an individual and to explore what you would like to work on in therapy. This will allow us to work together in creating a plan to work on in follow-up sessions.
I am an experienced and caring therapist who genuinely likes to help others and to see them grow.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I work with clients to help them recognize and change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors in order to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Often clients feel stuck in the past and/or are worried about the future. With mindfulness-based therapy I assist clients to focus on the here and now.
I provide education to clients on a number of topics, such as: positive coping skills, sleep hygiene, self-care techniques, increasing self-esteem, gratitude and mindfulness.
