Thank you for reviewing my profile. I am originally a Midwest farm gal with a little city pazzazz having lived in the Chicagoland area for many years. Although I am now a CA resident, my Midwest roots are grounding to me. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California. I provide counseling services via telehealth and in-person in my Pleasanton, CA office. On days I am not working, I enjoy reading, riding the motorcycle with my husband, spending time with my adult kids, traveling, taking walks with our pet dog, Buddy, and working out at the gym. I am divorced, have lost a pet I dearly cherished, lost my father, and worked hard to obtain my PhD! I am a huge advocate of self-care because that is what helped me keep taking one step forward on difficult days. Take courage and know that I, too, have not been without struggles, but encourage you to know there is hope everyday!

My skills and experience have allowed me to deal with various diverse cultures who are reluctant to seek treatment due to stigma. Having been raised as Armenian and Greek, I have experienced the multicultural and societal pressures firsthand. In the face of a person experiencing a challenging life event , even the most competent person may need extra support or guidance. Everyone has problems and there is no shame in seeking help. It is my goal to create a safe Christ Centered environment for you to navigate through issues of acculturation, emotional scars from the past that prevents you from pursuing Gods purposes. For the past 14 years I have dedicated my life to improving the psychological health of families including adults, adolescents and children in the Greater Los Angeles Area. My expertise is with children, adolescents, adults , couples and families who present with various mental disorders (i.e., mood, anxiety; behavioral), addiction and history of trauma. My strengths are my ability to transcend into my clients world without any bias or discrimination using my own testimony as empowerment. It is in the authentic therapeutic-client relationship that change occurs as one is guided to self reflect and explore. I am certified in multiple evidenced practices such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I began working in mental health 23 years ago and have worked in community-based therapy, lockdown facilities, in-home therapy, and different schools. I have found over time that the most rewarding factor of doing this work is giving people comfort and support, not only solutions. No matter what type of therapy the client prefers, the environment is based individually on the client. I do not press the pace of the session. Normally, there's a check, but other than that, it depends on the pace the client feels comfortable with for that session.

I am flexible in my approach to therapy, recognizing that each client’s needs are unique. My primary focus is on addressing immediate concerns, providing targeted support and strategies to tackle pressing issues. If necessary, we can delve into past experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring we do not overwhelm you while still addressing underlying issues that may impact your present situation. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process. Therefore, I do not confine clients to a full hour of therapy unless it is needed. Some clients prefer to use the entire session time to explore their concerns deeply, while others may focus on immediate needs and prefer shorter sessions. This flexibility allows us to make the most of our time together, ensuring you receive the support you need in a way that works best for you. To ensure continuous progress, I provide tools and strategies for you to use between sessions. These may include practical exercises, coping mechanisms, and reflective practices designed to reinforce our work in therapy. This ongoing support helps maintain momentum and fosters lasting change. My straightforward yet understanding approach encourages open communication. I create a space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely, knowing that you will be met with empathy and respect. This helps build a strong therapeutic relationship, essential for effective therapy and positive outcomes.
