About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC/LPCC) with a strong background in providing therapeutic support, recently relocating from rural Pennsylvania to California. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling with a concentration in Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.
As a therapist, I sometimes find it challenging to talk about myself, but I take this opportunity to model the value of self-reflection. At the core of my belief system are two critical principles: integrity and hope. I strive to bring my best self into everything I do; it’s this commitment that drew me to the field of counseling and has fueled my growth both personally and professionally. I believe that hope is the spark that ignites change, even in the face of daunting challenges or systemic barriers. My role as a therapist is to help others kindle that spark within themselves and use it to fuel their passions.
I understand that reaching out for counseling can be a challenging first step, often accompanied by fears of the unknown or concerns about judgment. My approach is welcoming and non-judgmental, whether this is your first experience with therapy or you are seeking a fresh perspective. I draw upon positive practices to help individuals leverage their own strengths and creativity to achieve their goals.
Creating an accepting and open environment is at the core of my practice. I work at your pace, encouraging personal growth while supporting you in recognizing your own potential and worth, even amidst the complexities of today’s world.
My therapeutic focus is person-centered, aiming to help you discover and harness your strengths. I am committed to a trauma-informed, culturally aware approach, ensuring that therapy is tailored to your unique experiences and needs.
I have been fortunate to have incredible experiences throughout my career in mental health, and these experiences have profoundly shaped who I am as both a person and a clinician. They are deeply infused into my ongoing efforts to advance mental health equity and integrity.
If you have prior experience with therapy, I am keen to learn what has been effective for you. If past experiences have been challenging, I encourage open communication so we can tailor a strategy that truly works for you. My experience includes working with individuals in their homes, which has enhanced my adaptability to various therapeutic styles. I employ techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness practices, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychiatric Rehabilitation, and Reality-Based approaches. My goal is to empower you with tools to manage stress, challenge negative self-beliefs, and support your journey toward a healthier, happier life.
