I'm not perfect, but I do practice what I preach. I'm here because I found it difficult to find the help I needed, and I hope my presence makes it easier for those in need now.
My approach
I am not here to judge you or tell you what to do. I am here to help you understand yourself so you can choose to take action to improve the quality of your life. I teach skills that are simple, although not always easy so that you can continue to make progress in between sessions.
My focus
I am willing to see individuals and specialize in treating anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, divorce, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harming, sexual addiction, stress, panic attacks, coping skills, trauma and PTSD, and suicidal ideation.
My communication style
I aim to communicate in a direct yet non-judgmental way. My style is to listen intently, ask clarifying questions, and offer insights to help you gain new perspectives. I believe in creating a safe space for open and honest dialogue.
My journey to mental healthcare
I earned my Master of Arts (MA) degree in psychology from California Baptist University in Riverside, CA, where I studied from March 2012 to May 2014. I completed my clinical hours for licensure between September 2013 and December 2018.
My goals for you
I feel privileged to be a small resource in the journeys of so many. I am continually humbled by the trust shown to me and in awe of the courage shown by those giving it.
