Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. I believe people are the experts in their life who sometimes need help with managing their daily life.
My approach
My approach to therapy draws from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based techniques, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I tailor my approach to meet each individual's unique needs.
My focus
I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, family conflict, panic attacks, psychosis, relationship issues, schizophrenia, self-esteem, and stress. I am dedicated to assisting those experiencing distress and difficulties so they can develop healthy coping skills to live a fulfilling life.
My communication style
I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. Communication is collaborative\; I listen closely to understand your perspective while offering guidance and tools to help you reach your goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I began my journey in the mental health field in 2017 after obtaining my Master of Arts in Counseling. I completed my clinical hours for licensure between November 2017 and September 2021 at SERI in Fresno and TPOCC RMH in Pinedale. These experiences, in both residential and outpatient settings, ignited my passion for helping others navigate life's challenges.
My goals for you
My goal is to empower you with insights and strategies to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, and cope with difficult emotions. Together, we will work on building your inner strength and resilience so you can lead a more balanced, joyful life.
My first session with you
During our first session, I aim to create a safe, supportive space for you to share your story. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to identify your specific goals. This session allows us to see if we are a good therapeutic fit. I look forward to joining you on your journey of growth and healing.
