Pronouns: She/her/hers

Therapy Style: Collaborative, Empowering, Versatile

I believe that a person that is struggling can find hope in their future with help. Everyone needs some compassion, care, and understanding as they move through their life challenges. I know that challenges can be overcome when you have the right support. I hope to impact my community by providing mental health services to help overcome mental health challenges with you.

During session, I am interested with promoting mental and physical well being, the overall health of the client, preventing future mental health challenges , and maintaining their mental health recovery. I incorporate various approaches in order to help the client’s needs. I will use appropriate methods in therapy to enhance the outcomes of my clients. I often use sand-tray, art, music, books that range from CBT for teens to books for children that are struggling with anxiety. I have used a holistic approach for those clients that prefer a more natural way of healing incorporating mindfulness and exercise.

I have enjoyed working with people of all backgrounds but I have currently worked with the following populations: Adults, children and families, Anxiety, depression, stress, separation anxiety, people with chronic pain and physical disabilities, high functioning people with down syndrome, elder homebound, active duty service people, veterans and their families, and children with selective mutism.

As a former U.S. Navy Police officer, my first career lead me to wanting to serve my country and my community. I faced tremendous obstacles during my service which helped me build strength and resilience. I bring my experience serving my country as well as the many hours I spent working with people in my California community.
