About me
I have an array of lived and professional experience as a therapist, especially with helping adults who are managing anxiety and depression.
I was proudly born and raised in Northern California, the South Bay Area specifically. In 2012, I moved to Stockton and have essentially been here since.
I earned a Bachelor's in Journalism from San Jose State in 2006, then a Master's in Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2014.
Always having believed in diversification, especially when it comes to lived experience, I have worked in several industries, including non-profit, media, clerical, CPS, education and therapy.
The first session is our chance to establish rapport and connection. It's mostly focused on getting to know you—your story, your goals, the relationships in your life and what brought you to therapy. Nervousness is totally acceptable in the beginning; most share that they feel that way at the start. However, it is our sincere hope that you do not leave feeling the same way.
My approach is direct, honest and open. I am eclectic in technique, often integrating aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Person-Centered therapies.
