I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I grew up in a very diverse community where all cultures and unique perspectives were embraced and encouraged. I attended California State University, East Bay Campus and completed a bachelor's degree in English Literature with a minor in Spanish and went on to finish a Masters of Science in Counseling with an option in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since becoming licensed in 2004, I have maintained a Private Practice in the San Francisco Bay Area for 18 years. During my education and internships I received extensive training in helping clients through crises, healing from trauma, understanding family systems, de-escalating conflicts and strengthening their problem-solving and self-care skills to improve the outcomes in their lives. I have worked at Community Mental Health Centers, in School settings, as a Family Court Mediator and also as a Supervisor for new intern-level therapists. I believe that it is always important to use genuine caring and empathy so that my clients will feel that each therapy session is customized to their needs. I am here to come alongside you, whether you are healing, learning or questioning. The story is yours. I use a Solution Focused approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Expressive Arts and Mindfulness exercises to help you develop the next chapter of your story. I specialize in helping my clients learn new skills and tools to improve self-esteem, become more empowered in their lives and improve their relationships. I teach people specifically "how to" go about making changes and implement these new skills, especially when they have had difficulty doing so in the past. In other words, I help people get "unstuck" from behaviors or thought patterns that no longer serve them while also helping them develop a path to increased happiness and improved quality of life. I feel very honored to have the trust of my clients and to be of help to people during times of transition in their lives. - Individual Therapy - Early Relationship Building for Couples - Pre Marital Therapy - Bilingual English & Spanish
