Thank you for your interest in reading my profile and taking care to choose the right provider for your needs. I hope the following information will be helpful. I graduated with my BA in Human Services in 2001, at California State University in Fullerton. I earned an MA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in 2004. I have over 11 years of experience working in the mental health field in several clinical settings. Currently, I enjoy working in a private practice with adults in an inclusive environment and have experienced success treating a variety of anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD and other trauma related conditions. I’ve been influenced by many counseling theories over the years, but I resonate the most with Person Centered Therapy which emphasizes the relationship between therapist and client as more of a partnership. The client already has the wisdom to create the changes they want. The therapist assists the client by creating a safe space and helps remove obstacles blocking that wisdom. I listen with compassion and reflect your strengths and resiliency along the way. This framework is where I begin, and I often add other evidence based practices such as CBT, DBT and Emotion Freedom Technique, to achieve desired outcomes. Choosing a therapist is an important decision. If you would like an opportunity to talk more, please reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
