Pinole, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Are you struggling with the symptoms post-partum, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with parenting?
With over 18 years of experience utilizing evidence-based therapies, I am confident in personalizing my approach to cater to your needs and facilitate your healing process.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere where clients can address any obstacles related to anxiety, depression, women's issues, or emotional exhaustion. My primary focus is to help clients establish healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, which can significantly improve their quality of life.
Additionally, I am experienced with the emotional, mental, and behavioral conditions that affect children, who need to be treated differently from adults due to cognitive levels and maturity. Because of this, I used various types of therapy techniques based on your child's age and unique situation. These therapies can help your child develop coping skills, improve social interactions, and better manage emotions.
Depending on your child's age and needs, I may work directly with you (or guardians) to enhance parenting skills or effectively address your child's behaviors.
By seeking counseling, you can work towards personal growth and development in any aspect of your life that you wish to improve. If you're ready to talk and start your journey towards a healthier you, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I am a provider with over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings. I have worked with people from all walks of life, in varying ages and stages of life. I consider myself to be a generalist practitioner; however, I have specialized training in the treatment of disordered eating and body image disturbance.
I am also an artist who believes in healing through creative expression. I am a registered art therapist (ATR) which means I have education, training and experience in the field of art therapy. I provide talk therapy, art therapy or a combination of both.
