About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals impacted by trauma, grief, attachment disruptions, anxiety, and mood-related challenges. I integrate evidence-based approaches to assist clients in building emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and increasing resilience.

My Background and Approach

I have over 7 years of experience working in residential treatment, in-patient hospitalization, community based mental health, crisis support, family and individual therapy, and addiction treatment. I am licensed in CA and have training in various interventions and modalities.Collaboration and connection are the heart of therapy, creating a safe space to explore emotions, build empathy, and develop coping skills. Through a supportive, strengths-based approach, clients are empowered to heal, grow, and navigate life's challenges.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person has an inherent capacity for growth, healing, and resilience. I value creating a therapeutic space that is safe, respectful, and collaborative, where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe healing happens through connection-- connection to self, to others, and to one's lived experiences. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and cultural humility, recognizing that each client's story is unique and shaped by their relationships, environments, and experiences. I value honesty, transparency, and ethical practice. I strive to meet clients where they are while supporting meaningful and sustainable change. I believe therapy is a process, not a quick fix, and that small, intentional steps can lead to lasting growth. Above all, I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering guidance, tools, and support as you work toward greater balance, understanding, and well-being.
