About My Clients
My counseling approach is humanistic. I want to help you gain awareness of patterns that no longer suit you. My hope is to walk alongside you and help you identify issues that interfere with your life story. I want you to feel safe to be unapologetically yourself in sessions, and to process feelings and challenge negative thoughts knowing that you are completely seen and safe to do so. I want to help you become more self-aware & gain control of the narrative of your life.
My Background and Approach
I completed a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of California, Riverside. During my time at UCR, I was a research assistant studying personality development and emotional regulation in children. I then earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from California Baptist University (CBU). My education has equipped me to help couples and families. I also have extensive experience working with individuals in one-on-one counseling. My previous experience includes working as a therapist at the CBU Counseling Center, where I worked with young adults facing a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, life changes and transitions, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I also created and led a skills-based group for depression. Some of my clinical interests include inner child work and helping young adults facing various life transitions.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that change is real, and I am honored to hold that hope and space for my clients as they navigate what change looks like for them. I encourage you to have a gentleness and curiosity about the coping skills that helped you survive but no longer suit you and the person you hope to become. I believe in this work because I actively have to do this work for myself. I never take the space we have lightly. Outside of sessions I enjoy hiking, camping, naps with my chihuahua, reality tv, meditating, painting, live music and listening to podcasts.
