About My Clients
I am a Certified Level One Solutions Focused Therapist and received specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Habit Reversal Training (HRT). In addition I have completed Basic training in EMDR and the Flash Technique. I work with individuals experiencing neurodivergent issues, gifted learners, individuals coping to manage life transitions, women’s mental health issues around shifting roles in family and career, and immigration/re-entry adjustment stressors.
My Background and Approach
I graduated from Golden Gate University with a Masters in Psychology and began working in behavioral health in 2013. My experience includes community mental health counseling with a dual-diagnosis population, substance abuse counseling at a Methadone Clinic, social services case management, mobile crisis 5150 evaluations, and providing therapy specific to older adults. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and Massachusetts, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California, and a Registered Out-of-State Telehealth provider (TPMF) for Florida. Currently, I am only accepting individuals who have EAP benefits with Lyra, SpringHealth, and Sutter EAP. For all other individuals, I am an out-of-network provider, and if you choose to engage in services agree to be solely responsible for contacting your insurance to verify benefits eligibility. Full payment for services is due at the time of session. A superbill receipt will be provided.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My treatment focus is on neurodivergent issues and gifted learners. Therapeutic style is evidenced and strength based, multiculturally sensitive, solutions oriented, client centered, and collaborative. You are the expert on you. My role is to facilitate and support an awareness of how to implement changes to overcome unhelpful patterns in thinking and decision making. I strive to see the whole person not just a list of symptoms. Understanding your unique background is key because therapy is not a cookie cutter approach.
