Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California. I received my Doctorate Degree from Alliant International University in Fresno. I was born in Southern California and raised in the Bay Area. I have been practicing for 10 years and I enjoy empowering adults in their journey of overcoming their mental health challenges. I motivate clients for change and promote their personal growth.
I have 10 years of experience utilizing CBT techniques during individual and group therapy. I discuss the underlying concept that thoughts and feelings play in the fundamental role of human behavior. I also discuss other CBT concepts such as cognitive distortions, cognitive reframing, core beliefs, and automatic thoughts. I teach patients coping skills such as mindfulness, thought stopping, though record/journaling, self-care, behavior activation, and deep breathing exercises.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
