Hello and thanks for stopping by! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSYD) in the state of California. I am originally from Florida, however, I received a Doctorate Degree in Clinical Psychology, from Biola University, Rosemead School of Psychology. I have lived in California since 2011.
I have been working in the mental health field for over 9 years. My experience is with individuals and their families in a variety of settings including: community mental health, hospital settings, university counseling, and geriatrics. I have experience with a wide range of clinical issues, including transitions, phase of life, anxiety and stress related issues, depression, college adjustment, intellectual/developmental disabilities, mild autism, trauma and abuse issues, and end of life issues. Additionally, I have worked with family of origin issues, relationships, LGBTQ related issues, and many other issues.
My counseling style is client-centered, relational, and culturally sensitive. I work to provide my clients with an environment that is non-judgmental, warm and supportive. My approach is always determined by the individual client’s needs. The techniques I use during sessions are integrational in nature. I predominantly incorporate psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, s solution-focused counseling, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I always utilize interventions most appropriate for my clients.
I believe that we all need someone in our lives that we can share struggles and process life with. It takes a lot of courage to seek help. Congratulations on taking the first step of your journey. Good luck!
