As a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 11 years of experience, I have been trained in many evidence-based therapy modalities. This has enabled me to effectively treat a range of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, parenting challenges, and anger management.
My approach
My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative, solution-focused, and psychodynamic counseling techniques, tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe in empowering an individual's autonomy, recognizing that clients are responsible for and capable of making their own decisions. I treat clients with respect and equip them with the tools to meet life's challenges.
My focus
I work with individuals, couples, families, and minors aged 13-17. My specialties include treating anxiety, depression, family conflict, self-esteem issues, stress, trauma, and PTSD.
My communication style
I provide judgment-free therapy in a warm and supportive environment. For those seeking Christian counseling, I can offer biblically-rooted guidance while empowering you to reach your own conclusions in a manner full of "truth and grace."
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a mental health professional spans over a decade of clinical training and experience. From September 2009 to February 2011, I completed hours at Turning Point Center for Families in Costa Mesa. I then trained at SHIELDS for Families in Long Beach from February 2011 to May 2012. Finally, I worked at Pacific Clinics in Whittier from May 2012 to August 2016, honing my skills in various therapeutic modalities.
My goals for you
My goal is to equip you with the tools and insights to reach your objectives and build a strong support system, ultimately enabling you to continue thriving independently. I believe you have the innate power to achieve your goals and find positive reinforcement.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and collaboratively identify your goals. I will strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share your story and begin your journey toward healing and personal growth. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs and aspirations.
