My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and find more helpful ways of living. I offer a collaborative and client-centered approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs and cultural backgrounds to help attain the personal growth you're striving for. Your life experiences and history contribute to your individual uniqueness. Sometimes it's helpful if your therapist has a base knowledge of aspects of your culture so you don't have to explain everything. Between cultural elements of the LGBTQ community, to intersectionality experiences for persons of color, my background and training aid in this understanding.
I use a variety of techniques in my practice by combining my training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Some of my specialties include early psychosis support & psychoedcation for caregivers of family members with psychosis or bipolar, LGBTQQI support & advocacy. and online therapy for all California residents.
Searching for the right therapist can be a long and trying process. I understand you have lots of choices and thank you for taking the time to consider me in helping you work towards your goals. I encourage you to call or email me to schedule a first session as meeting and talking in person are best in establishing if we will be a good therapeutic match.
