I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am willing to see individuals including adolescents/teens and older adults.
My communication style
I support my clients in feeling safe and comfortable so they may gain insight into the issues presented.
My journey to mental healthcare
I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2011. From 2011 to 2016, I completed my clinical hours for licensure at Children's Learning Center and Interface Children and Family Services in Oxnard, California.
My goals for you
My goals for you are to help you overcome barriers related to life stressors and improve your overall well-being. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space for you to gain insight and make positive changes.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask about your background, current concerns, and goals. We will begin to formulate a plan tailored to your unique needs.
