With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. I have a warm, compassionate, culturally sensitive, genuine style and provide a safe, supportive non-judgmental environment to grow and heal.
My approach
I work from a collaborative, holistic, strength-based approach, believing that growth and positive change are possible. I use an integrative approach with an emphasis on Psychodynamic Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
My focus
I specialize in working with individuals struggling with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, trauma, and PTSD.
My communication style
I have a warm, compassionate, culturally sensitive, genuine communication style. I aim to provide a safe, supportive non-judgmental environment for my clients to grow and heal.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have extensive experience working in diverse settings such as a hospital, dual diagnosis treatment centers, and community mental health agencies. My clinical training hours for licensure spanned from 2005 to 2009 at various locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, including schools, counseling centers, and enrichment programs, under the supervision of licensed psychologists and therapists.
My goals for you
My goal is to guide and support you through the therapeutic process on your journey toward, in the words of Rachel Naomi Remen, "...becoming who you are." I aim to help you let go of expectations and beliefs that no longer serve you so that you can grow into your most authentic self.
My first session with you
In our first session, my focus will be on getting to know you, understanding your unique challenges and goals, and beginning to establish a warm, genuine therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brings you to therapy and how I can best support you with my integrative, collaborative approach tailored to your needs.
