As a therapist, my work is grounded in a positive theoretical orientation that recognizes the innate desire for emotional and mental well-being within all individuals. I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health and Counseling, which has provided me with a strong foundation in various therapeutic modalities. My clinical training took place from January 2017 to March 2019 under the supervision of Shannon Brueckner, MFT #43161 (group supervision) and Leigh Martin, MFT #51033 (individual supervision) at John Muir Behavioral Health Services in Concord, CA. This experience solidified my passion for helping others achieve emotional wellness.
My approach
I believe that each person enters therapy with a strong wish, whether conscious or unconscious, to overcome obstacles and free themselves from constraints holding them back. To support these goals, I tailor my therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual client.
My focus
My patient focus is on working with individuals to help them navigate challenges and achieve their mental health objectives. I specialize in treating a range of concerns, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief, parenting issues, prenatal and postpartum difficulties, relationship problems, self-esteem, sexual abuse, stress, substance use, trauma, PTSD, panic attacks, career challenges, coping skills, and family conflict.
My communication style
In our work together, you can expect me to communicate with genuine care, empathy, and dedication to guiding you through the therapeutic process. I consider it a privilege to play such an important role in your life and am committed to creating a safe, supportive space for growth and healing.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal for you is to help you overcome the obstacles and constraints that are holding you back, enabling you to experience greater emotional freedom, mental well-being, and fulfillment in your life. Through our work together, I aim to empower you with the insights, tools, and coping strategies needed to navigate life's challenges with increased resilience and self-awareness.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will focus on establishing a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding. I will take the time to listen to your story, understand your unique challenges and goals, and collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This initial meeting will lay the foundation for our work together and set the stage for your journey toward enhanced mental health and well-being.
