About My Clients
Many of my clients begin therapy with anxiety and depression symptoms. Once we have a better understanding of these symptoms, we work to uncover deeper questions and longings around life purpose. We rediscover your passion for life. When I see clients light up and let go of what’s holding them back, I see them move forward with ease and break the ties that bind them. They’re better able to navigate life’s obstacles, and they feel more connected to themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
My 20-plus years of education, training and life experience have equipped me to help others in their healing and growth. I am dually licensed in California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). As a trainee and intern, I worked in substance abuse and mental health intensive care units. There I learned a lot about acute and ongoing mental healthcare. My training also included working in community mental health centers and animal-assisted therapy in school and foster care settings. Over the past 11 years, I’ve had extensive training learning about the body mind connection. I also hold three certificates in Transpersonal Energy Healing as well as Level 2 Reiki certification. I work with individuals navigating many challenges. Typically, we address issues related to being a highly sensitive person, a parent, or an individual struggling with depression, anxiety or stress.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe change happens from the inside out. So, our work together includes exploring how you experience the people and the world around you as well as taking a look at what is going well in your life and what is not. When we work together, my therapy services will help you process the issues connected to your struggles so you can move forward. Together, we can heal anything from the past that’s hindering you so you can enjoy life more. My services also offer ways to learn new skills–how to help yourself feel better while getting the tools to navigate your relationships and/or life better. I use a variety of modalities in my services to accomplish this depending on your needs and interest. All services are effective and backed by research!
