I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in San Diego and supporting people remotely throughout California. I understand that depression, anxiety, stress, past difficult experiences, and unhealthy coping habits can make it hard to implement change in our lives. I consider myself a guide to change - someone who listens to where you want to go and who you want to be and helps you find the best ways to get there.
I primarily use a form of therapy known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the impact of thoughts, behaviors, and emotional reactions on our experiences and helps shape these areas to meet our goals. My openness and professional background in cultural sensitivity allow me to work well with a variety of clients, and clients often seek me looking for direct guidance to change that is affirming to their backgrounds and empowering to help them meet their goals.
Clients can expect to take away concrete steps to change from our sessions. I believe change occurs step by step, over time, and offer recommendations to implement between sessions. Clients can also expect to be heard and understood, as navigating change involves first understanding who we are and how we got here in the first place.
