Therapy begins with a safe and trusting environment where your needs are collaboratively addressed. As your clinician, my goal is to encourage and support your healing, and to be a cheerleader through your recovery journey.

I am passionate about providing therapy services for adults and adolescents (late teens). Navigating work, school, relationships, and life circumstances in general can be especially challenging, and I aim to provide a nonjudgmental and empathic atmosphere in which you can discuss important issues, gain practical tools and receive adequate care. As for my training, I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Palo Alto University, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the UC Davis Medical Center.

I believe the most important part of making therapy successful is establishing a trusting relationship where I then empower the client to pursue their desired goals and overcome barriers preventing that outcome. I am very client-centered and base tools and modalities on the individual's strengths and personality. Often these interventions pull from theories such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and Humanistic. I am happy to intertwine Christian faith into treatment if desired.

I believe psychotherapy is a process of allowing yourself to feel heard, seen, understood, and accepted. By building a safe relationship with the counselor, gradually accepting and seeing more possibilities and tapping into your true strengths, you can re-engage in a healthy life, work and relationships. It is a patient, step-by-step process that requires patience.
