About My Clients

I currently see adults of all ages via telehealth in CA. Previous experience includes: case management, advocacy, crisis intervention, individual and group counseling. I have worked in various settings including hospitals, emergency shelters, outpatient behavioral health programs, adult day health care facilities, correctional facilities, and now private practice. I currently treat depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment, self-esteem, relational problems, life stressors and codependency.

My Background and Approach

Treatment is tailored to each individual person and is a collaborative effort between client and therapist. A holistic therapy approach is utilized, which is the combination of contemporary and alternative treatments with evidence-based practices to assist a person in achieving balance in mind, body, and energy. A deeper understanding of the whole self can lead to increased self-awareness, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and emotional/physical well-being. Treatment is grounded in Polyvagal and Attachment Theories. Treatment approaches can include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parts Work Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), Neuro-Nutrient Therapy, and/or Brainspotting.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am very passionate about holistic psychotherapy as I have personally experienced great benefits from such an approach where traditional methods alone have failed me. I wanted to create a space that allows for healing, vitality, and wholeness. A place where people can return to their true selves. A place where people come to understand that they make perfect sense. A place where all are welcome regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or ability.
