My journey in the healing arts is a wonderful one and involves working with clients of all ages and stages of life. I have an integrated therapy approach with a specific focus on intermodal therapies, life transitions, community building, and family/group work. I work with clients who can be experiencing anxiety, adolescent anxiety, depression, substance abuse, significant life adjustments/transitions, post traumatic stress, blended family dynamics, grief/loss, adjustment to motherhood, and couples communication challenges. In our work together we are transforming life challenges into growth opportunities and creative action in your life.

Life often presents challenges, particularly in times of uncertainty. I firmly believe that each person's unique perspective, influenced by their individual core beliefs and background, significantly shapes how they approach these challenges. Recognizing and respecting the diversity of each client, along with their specific needs, is essential in developing an effective treatment plan. My professional experience includes working with diverse populations, including monolingual Spanish-speaking clients, members of the LGBTQ+ community, women experiencing postpartum depression, and survivors of domestic violence.

As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

I have been given the greatest opportunity to be welcomed into my clients' lives and assist them in creating their definition and plan for a well life. I focus on the working relationship between my clients' and I, where theory and practice only enhances the work done in session. My goal is not to be a client's therapist every week for the rest of their lives, but rather to have them create the strength and determination to leave my office applying it to their everyday lives.

Looking for more joy and meaning in life? Using an eclectic approach, I work with adults and young adults to discover their natural strengths. Part of being human includes being confronted with obstacles that hinder our wellbeing and meaning in life. I enjoy assisting people in creating ways to remove those obstacles. Even in the midst of little hope, I think we all need to be reminded of the joy and wonder in life.

I believe that relationships are the cornerstone to mental wellness. Because of this, I see my role as a therapist as an active team member in a client’s process toward change. I hold genuine curiosity that drives me to dive deep into each client and I hold strong value for each person’s story. I have found that telling your story is often where healing begins. I strive to create a safe space that invites you to face the dark places of your story, to highlight your resilience and cultivate empowerment. I am one of few in the Central Coast who is certified in Perinatal & Postpartum Mental health.
