Therapists in El Cerrito, CA

Throughout my short time on the platform, I see that goal oriented, solution focused and directive therapy work best due to client's short time on the app. If this approach works for you, please book a time. Below is my more detailed credentials but again- for the purposes of the app, I will work in a more direct and coaching manner. I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California with over 20 years of experience working with a client base ranging from children to the elderly. I have worked with clients trying to understand their emotions causing various symptoms. Key areas that my work focuses on are significant life changes, relationship troubles, problematic family dynamics causing distress, and self esteem issues. I am also practice within a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Framework when necessary although I do not work with complex trauma in an online format and will refer out. My therapeutic framework is centered on unconditional positive regard and you being heard and validated. I will meet you where you are and encourage growth throughout the therapeutic experience. I work from a strength based approach with a focus on being solution focused. I strive to uncover triggers in your environment that impact daily functioning. Looking at your history and dynamics in your family of origin will also be a focal point of treatment. Ultimately, I will work with you to fulfill your needs using a combination of multiple therapeutic modalities tailored to your needs. You have taken the first step in getting support. I look forward to working with you and hearing your story.
