I am a licensed marriage and family therapist providing personalized and compassionate telehealth therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. My professional experience spans over 25 years, bringing a wealth of clinical experience and expertise to individual, group, and family therapy services. I am also a training provider for the Academy of Professional Excellence at San Diego State University on expert topics such as Child Development, Teaming with Families to Develop Behavior Health Treatment Plans, and Engagement and Interview Skills, which ensures that I am always learning and growing as a therapist. I am a certified Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) provider and trainer. Through evidence-based treatment, you will learn new strategies to target the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that keep you from living your best life. You may for example want to target emotional regulation skills, manage work stress, maintain better relationships, or feel empowered in your own life.
Different therapeutic modalities may be used to support your progress using a trauma informed, strength-based and cultural humility approach. Depending on need, we may choose to incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy into our work together. You can expect to experience a supportive, collaborative approach in which we co-create your path to healing and growth. Your treatment plan will be individualized to your goals and needs with a focus on gaining insight, strategies, and skills for better life functioning and empowerment.
