As a therapist, my philosophy is based on a client-centered approach, treating each client with specific needs and empowering them through education. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques to help clients alleviate symptoms and meet their treatment goals.
My approach
I believe therapy is a collaborative effort, drawing upon clients' strengths while also guiding them through education and introspection. My approach is centered on empowering clients and tailoring treatment to their specific needs.
My focus
I specialize in working with clients who suffer from issues related to substance abuse, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship conflict, and familial discord. My focus is on helping individuals navigate these challenges and improve their overall well-being.
My communication style
As a therapist, I prioritize clear and open communication. I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make positive changes in their lives.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with my education - I received my BA from Santa Clara University and went on to earn my MA in Psychology from Chapman University. Witnessing client change and growth has been the most rewarding aspect of being a therapist for me.
My goals for you
Ultimately, my goal is to assist you in alleviating symptoms, meeting your treatment objectives, and achieving personal growth. I am dedicated to supporting you in developing coping skills, gaining self-awareness, and improving your overall quality of life.
