I am licensed in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. My approach is Holistic Therapy, focusing on the mind, body and soul. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

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

In our first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. We'll start by getting to know each other and discussing their reasons for seeking therapy, as well as any goals or expectations they have for working together. I'll provide an overview of my therapeutic approach and answer any questions they may have about the process. We'll also explore their strengths, values, and any challenges they are facing, laying the foundation for our collaborative work. By the end of the session, they can expect to feel heard, understood, and supported, with a clearer sense of how therapy can help them on their journey towards healing and growth.

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

As a psychotherapist, my strengths lie in my genuine empathy and compassionate approach to client care. With a diverse clinical skillset encompassing cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and trauma-based, I tailor interventions to meet each client's unique needs. Cultural competence is at the heart of my practice, fostering inclusivity and understanding for clients from all backgrounds. I prioritize open communication, empowering clients to actively participate in their healing journey. Resilience and ethical practice guide my work, ensuring a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. Through continuous learning and a collaborative approach, I strive to provide impactful and compassionate care, supporting clients in their pursuit of mental and emotional well-being.

My treatment methods

EMDR

"In my practice, I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as an evidence-based approach to help clients process traumatic memories and distressing experiences. Through specialized training and expertise, I guide clients through the reprocessing phases, facilitating bilateral stimulation to promote adaptive resolution of trauma. EMDR empowers clients to heal from past wounds, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and enhance overall well-being, fostering transformative growth and resilience."
