About My Clients
You are mentally exhausted from constantly feeling on edge, over analyzing every move you make, and having that gut feeling something bad is going to happen. Maybe you feel like your worry is controlling you and enjoying things is not as easy as it used to be. How would it feel to stop second guessing yourself? What would it be like to wake up and start your day without feeling completely overwhelmed? If you are asking yourself these questions, therapy can help.
My Background and Approach
I have 6 years of experience working in outpatient and inpatient mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults. I have my Master of Social Work degree from San Diego State University and received the majority of my training and experience at Rady Children's Hospital and the Defense Health Agency. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues and parenting issues. In therapy you will gain knowledge and a new perspective about your symptoms, learn coping skills to manage those symptoms, and build your support system. My approach is non-judgmental, collaborative, and direct. You are the expert on your life and likely you already have many strengths that can be built upon to help improve your symptoms. I am certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I have training in and utilize Dialectic Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy in my sessions as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Everyone has a unique path they walk that leads them to therapy. Sometimes that path includes a recent life change, a major loss, or years of unhealthy coping that have begun to impact day to day life. Regardless of what path has led you here, know that there is hope. Everyone has the ability and the capacity to get better with help. I believe all the best things in life are achieved with hard work, happiness included. Let's work together to create calm amidst life's chaos and create a life that you love.
