Great to meet you!

Hi, I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California. I have a lengthy history of working with adolescents and adults in therapy focusing on trauma, anxiety, depression, and familial/relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

Treatment focus is client centered and inclusive of cultural considerations as we navigate Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify core beliefs and automatic thought processes that can lead to anxiety, depression, and other adjustment issues. Trauma informed practices are the foundation of practice and ensure that Client's are seen and heard from their point of experience.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to enter a safe space where exploration of challenges and strengths is prioritized and applied to goals that are set and reviewed in treatment. Increasing awareness and acceptance of ourselves and our relationships with the outside world is key to moving into a space that aligns with future goals and dreams.
