I entered the field of psychology with the belief that people can change. My goal is to help clients find the motivation and skills they need to make the positive changes they want to see in their lives. Change can be difficult but when you are willing to put in the work it can open endless possibilities.
I specialize in providing teletherapy for stress and anxiety –I am passionate about helping my clients find new ways to think and take actions around their life experiences. Through our work, you can feel more empowered and effective in all parts of your life. I provide culturally competent and evidence-based care informed by trauma processing, neurobiological, intersectional, and attachment-oriented theories and practices.
My experience includes working in a variety of treatment settings including a domestic violence shelter, high- school counseling center, community college counseling center, LGBT youth center, homeless adolescent wellness center, substance abuse rehabilitation center, full-service partnership program for older adults, and multiple crisis residential facilities. In these settings I have treated individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, life stressors, interpersonal difficulties, and much more.
My clinical work has focused on providing holistic mental health care while being mindful of various cultural considerations such as age, ethnicity, spirituality, gender, disabilities, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I believe in creating a collaborative and supportive therapeutic alliance with clients. I offer all my clients a compassionate and safe therapeutic environment to assist in guiding them through the challenges and opportunities of life. While my style is interactive and collaborative, I primarily provide an integration of mindfulness, emerging approaches to the treatment of trauma, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and somatic experiencing. I help my clients to release the trauma stored in their bodies.
I am EMDR trained therapist. For more information about how EMDR can help you, please feel free to contact me.
