I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from UC Santa Cruz and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a person-centered perspective, meaning I believe the relationship between therapist and client is central in supporting the therapeutic process. During my internship with the Santa Clara County drug courts, I worked extensively with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. This experience reinforced for me the importance of approaching every client with empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. In addition, I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thought patterns and build tools for emotional regulation.
If you’re looking for support on your healing journey, I offer a space where we can explore deeply and integrate meaningful tools together. I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting you in reaching your mental health goals.
