Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 8 years of experience providing therapeutic services to a wide variety of clients, including children, individuals, couples, and families from different cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
My approach
I work from a collaborative, strengths-based approach, assisting and supporting individuals in being the authors of their own lives. I believe therapy is a safe place to grow, learn, and achieve shared goals. I use an eclectic mix of modalities to meet each client's unique needs. I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and other evidence-based techniques based on client preferences and goals.
My focus
I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families to navigate the multiplicity of challenges that arise in life.
My communication style
With a supportive and non-judgmental approach, I hope to create a safe space for individuals to express themselves and make room for realizations that will lead to positive life changes.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts degree and completed my clinical hours for licensure between September 2015 and January 2018 at College Community Services in Taft, CA, and between November 2013 and May 2017 at Pine Meadow Counseling in Bakersfield, CA. My motivation is to help people effectively deal with life's challenges as they arise.
My goals for you
My goal is to provide assistance for today's battles and help you build confidence in your abilities to deal effectively with situations as they arise in the future.
My first session with you
In our first session, I look forward to getting to know you and understanding your unique situation. Whatever challenges you are facing, I am here to help. Thank you for considering me as your therapist.
