Healing the past and living fully in the present.
A Bit About Therapy
Collaboration Between a Therapist and a Client, We are a Team
I am now trained and EMDR and am able to do Teletherapy anywhere in California! My goal is to assist my clients to relieve distressing and unhelpful symptoms, and also work to develop and strengthen inner resources and capacities to improve the overall quality of life. I enjoy helping clients learn more about who they are, what has held them back, and what has made them thrive in life. Collaboration and support for my clients is key. EMDR is highly researched and recommended! A combination of both EMDR and talk therapy is ideal.
Services Offered
14+ Years of Experience
As a therapist I offer Group Therapy, Individual Therapy, Couples and Family Therapy. I utilize a Person Centered style to encourage clients to feel comfortable and safe to participate in a healing therapeutic growth process. I encourage and facilitate clients to be open expressing various thoughts and feelings. I believe in having unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathy for all clients. I also enjoy utilizing CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Theory) to help clients work on any automatic thoughts that may be maladaptive. I tend to look into family of origin and use a psychodynamic and Adlerian approach here. When requested or desired I will also use art, sand tray, and other forms of expression to help my clients say what sometimes words alone can’t express.
My work with clients is Strength based to help clients focus and build on their internal strengths and resourcefulness. I have trauma experience and grief/loss experience.
As you can see I am an eclectic therapist in terms of theories and would draw from my education and over 13 years of work as a therapist to tailor each session to each client as needed and constantly be looking at progress, a treatment plan, client goals, etc. to make sure the client is benefiting and improving in their mood, life, and thought processes.
I offer a variety of assessments and depending on what my clients request I have the ability to assess and diagnose PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction related diagnoses/treatment and many more. I also treat all these issues as well as co-occurring disorders and dual diagnoses. I am able to assist if therapy is mandated as well and am able to do reports, Mental Health Assessments, Team meetings etc.
Couples Therapy
Conflict Resolution and Communication
Couples will have a safe place to learn to communicate better and resolve conflicts. Working with couples is something I truly enjoy and each partner will feel equally heard and supported in our session. I have extensive experience and training in this area and am specifically licensed as a Marriage and Family therapist. I been working w/ couples and families for 13+ years.
Fees: The cost for a couples and/or family session is the same as an individual session so bring whoever you want to work on issues with and watch the relationships improve.
Individual Therapy
A Happier, Healthier You
As a therapist and a person, I offer my clients empathy, non-judgment, experience, support, and a safe place to open up and heal. In our 50-90 minute Individual Sessions I will collaborate with you to create the best life that you desire and help you determine how to meet your life and therapy goals. The therapy approaches that I utilize are aclectic and include: Client Centered, Psychodynamic, Transpersonal, Existential and Gestalt. Each client will have a detailed treatment plan and the following sessions we create together will combine open communication, healing, and personal growth. Any addictive, self-defeating, or sabotaging behaviors will be addressed without judgment, and all strengths and gifts will be utilized to help guide you toward your dreams. As a therapist I will draw from 14+ years counseling/therapy plus several more years of life experience to help you let go of anything that is not helpful and hold onto and develop the things that help you thrive. I am very excited to meet each client where you are and I am honored to be part of your journey to grow and heal.
