Great to meet you!

I create a safe space for you to describe how you see yourself in the world and to notice patterns that have persisted, and that may hamper you from achieving optimal relationships and completing your goals. I work with a range of ages, from young adults to seniors, and with a multicultural diverse population in California. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety and trauma related issues.

My approach to therapy

My main treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral therapy ( CBT) and EMDR. CBT involves noticing negative thought patterns, and identifying the relationship between thoughts feelings and behavior. EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy , an effective treatment modality for treating trauma and PTSD.

What you can expect from me

You may expect me to take my time gathering information and listening, in order to understand your personal history and treatment goals, so that we may collaborate on a treatment plan.
