My communication style

I believe it's my role to really listen and understand who you are and what your goals are in therapy. I understand how difficult it is to share personal and private information. I honor and respect your decision to do so in order to overcome your current obstacles.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career has focused on people from all backgrounds and ages. At the Counseling and Diagnostic Center at Sacramento State, I worked with adults from the general public with various problems or diagnoses. At the University of California, I worked with blended families with children dealing with trauma and teens with behavioral problems.

My goals for you

I honor and respect your choices on how to progress towards goals in overcoming your current obstacles. Together, we'll work at your pace to help you move forward in meaningful ways.

Our first session

In the first session, we can explore the core issues of your concerns and discuss how we can use therapy to deal with them directly instead of treating symptoms.
