I have been working in the counseling field since 2010. I am excited to be able to offer in-person services at my private practice in Bakersfield, CA, as well as via telehealth. My 15+ years of experience has primarily been dedicated to working with those who experienced challenges such as complex trauma, substance abuse issues, as well as low socioeconomic status. I believe in helping others look beyond the problem to the possibilities of a peaceful and meaningful life.
I am trained in Trauma-Informed Practices and have assisted individuals and families in overcoming barriers to personal, emotional, and psychological safety. Every individual has strengths, and I strive to help individuals address worries and challenges while identifying their personal strengths to expand and develop skills and solutions to achieve overall well-being.
I provide a safe, warm environment and work with my clients to set achievable treatment goals thru the use of solution focused, cognitive behavioral, and/or DBT therapy modalities.
