Struggling with burnout? Overwhelming stressors in times of uncertainty? Finding balance with chronic conditions or phase-of-life changes? My passion is to work collaboratively with my clients to help you LIVE life, not just survive life. I strive to create a safe therapeutic relationship by listening to your concerns, getting to understand you as an individual, and creating a customized treatment plan that propels you toward success. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and narrative based therapies to help you build insight, become aware of your inner strengths, and find ways of coping that are practical and effective in your life.
I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist serving clients in Florida, California, and Utah for over 10 years. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science with a dual degree in Sociology in 2008 at San Jose State University, and went on to complete my masters in counseling psychology with a specialization in creative expression at Sofia University (formerly the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) in Palo Alto, CA. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, hospital settings, and private practice settings serving clients 2 through 78+ years old enjoy helping the clients I work with by combining evidence-based psychotherapy, mental health apps, and digital content in your treatment plan. We can make therapy accessible, meaningful, and practical by figuring out what works best for you. The digital I like to assign from this portal are designed to help you bring the topics, techniques, and skills from our sessions into your daily life. The ultimate goal I have for all my clients is to decrease problematic symptoms, and increase your ability to reach and surpass your treatment goals.
On my time off I enjoy running after my children, learning to cook with my husband, deepening my faith through reading and discussion, drawing, painting, and traveling.
