Professional Background
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has experience working with children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families throughout the Bay Area. Since I was a teenager, I exuded a passion for psychology and a strong interest in helping others through mental health support. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from University of California, Berkeley; and earned a M.S. in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Dominican University of California. Within my career, I have worked with individual clients and their families in an elementary school, high school, college university, low-income counseling clinic, nonprofit Christian counseling center, and in Private Practice. Currently, I meet with clients at my Private Practice, located in the heart of downtown Danville, California.
My Clinical Approach
I've been trained to use a wide array of therapeutic modalities. In my current practice I generally utilize an integration of client-centered, somatic, holistic, existential, intuitive, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. As a clinician, my therapeutic style is interactive, and I will be actively engaged in each session. A large portion of my work is also geared towards helping my clients improve their sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. I believe that these two traits serve as key ingredients in helping my clients grow through the challenges they face and learn to take optimal care of themselves both currently and in years to come.
