About My Clients
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, as well as motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, EMDR and mindfulness-based practices. I work from a system focused perspective to help clients target concerns such as anxiety, self esteem, depression, adjustment disorder, and general life stressors. In addition, I am trained in Gottman Methods and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for relationship problems and marital work.
My Background and Approach
I earned my Bachelors degree in Psychology from San Diego State University with a minor in Community Health Development and my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Alliant International University. Throughout my career, I have been providing strength based integrated mental health services to adults, youth, and families. I have gained valuable experience working with emotional disturbances in children and families from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I truly enjoy helping others, spending time with family, outdoor activitie and volunteering my time for those causes I feel passionate about. I understand that making the decision to seek help can be difficult and I truly believe that the first step to a healthier life is the desire to change those areas that are creating negativity. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the needs of each individual client and I enjoy guiding my clients on their journey to self-realization and happiness.
