Therapy is a healing process that allows us to trust ourselves and empowers us to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Therapy can serve as the light in darkness and can guide us with what we need to live our highest potential. I provide a warm, accepting, and safe environment to explore and learn how to navigate life's challenges. I provide an integrative and holistic approach that focuses on all aspects of one's self (emotional, behavioral, mental, spiritual).
I am licensed in California with over 7 years of professional work experience in community mental health agencies, health care agencies, and school settings. I have also taught yoga for over 7 years and have developed the yoga therapy component for teen and elementary groups in school settings. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. My therapy style and approach draws from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe that each individual has strengths in overcoming challenges. I hope to help you heal and find your inner peace. You do not have to walk alone. Taking the initial step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Body image, Caregiver issues and stress, Communication problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Life purpose, Self-love
