I am a therapist serving children, families and adults navigating anxiety, depressive symptoms, relationship issues and life adjustments. Sometimes you need a little help navigating life stressors, obstacles or discovering healthy forms of coping skills. I received my Bachelors at San Francisco State University in Psychology and completed my Masters at California State University East Bay in Counseling with a concentration in Marriage Family Therapy.
My approach stems from Humanistic, Emotionally Focused and Internal Family Systems. My style is calm, collaborative and intentional. Every client is different therefore my approach is adaptable to what works best for each client. I honor that the client is the expert of their life. My goal is to create a safe space because therapy can be challenging and uncomfortable at times, but that’s where change happens.
The first session will be an opportunity to connect. I want to get to know you, understand what has brought you into therapy and address any immediate concerns. I'll ask you to share about your background as much as you're comfortable with at this point. We will discuss your goals for therapy and how we will work together to achieve them. My hopes is that you feel safe and heard.
