Hello! If you're searching for guidance adjusting to everyday life stressors, life changes, a new career, or life event stressors, I'm here for you! And if you are seeking empowerment with a dash of humor to stay grounded, then let's connect.
My approach
My primary focus is to work with clients to find their path, discover joy, and obtain inner peace - all leading to a higher sense of self-love and true purpose. My passion is to help individuals heal and navigate through life challenges, whether it be a new baby, a new job, or simply imagining a new you! I utilize a strengths perspective approach to guide clients in harnessing their resiliency to reach inner harmony and feel secure and whole. There are various therapy modalities that can be part of a treatment plan, many of which I am trained in, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Modification, Strengths Perspective, Solution Focused, Grief Work, Family Work, and Mindfulness. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that best meets your goals while getting to know all about you.
My focus
I work with individuals and specialize in areas such as Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Relationship Issues, Stress Management, Women's Issues, Grief and Loss, Career Changes, Family Dynamic Challenges, Parenting Adjustments, Mindfulness, and Cultural Promotion.
My communication style
In our sessions, we'll start by teaming up to uncover your strengths and rediscover areas of resilience within you. Together, we'll engage in meaningful conversations, where your voice will be heard, and authentic support will be provided. I'm here to ensure that our sessions are a source of empowerment for you every step of the way.
My journey to mental healthcare
I'm a mental health professional with over 17 years of experience as a licensed clinician, clinical supervisor, and former director of an intensive behavioral program. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Southern California from 2004–2006. I began my clinical hours for licensure in July 2006 and completed them in July 2012. My extensive experience has exposed me to all facets of mental health struggles, so remember, you are not alone. I will leverage that insight to support you.
My goals for you
Life is full of unknowns, which can be overwhelming at times. However, despite these uncertainties, our tremendous human potential to overcome them remains constant. I'm looking forward to working with you and helping you tap into your inner strengths, chart your emotional well-being course ahead, and go on a journey to embrace self-love, joy, and fulfillment. Together, we'll navigate the challenges and celebrate the accomplishments along the way.
My first session with you
During our initial session, our main focus will be on building a connection and getting to know each other better. We'll start by exploring your individual strengths, challenges, and aspirations. This will serve as the groundwork for us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Throughout our time together, you can anticipate an environment filled with warmth, empathy, and perhaps even a bit of humor (when appropriate) as we embark on this journey together.
