ABOUT
Now offering therapy in two ways to best meet your unique needs

In Person Therapy
Welcoming adults, teens, couples, and families to my cozy office in San Mateo, centrally located on the Bay Area peninsula.
Telehealth sessions are an option for those living anywhere in California, that are on the go, and preferring a more flexible option from the comfort of their own home.
Virtual Therapy
PSYCHOTHERAPY
Approach
For the past decade, I have worked in the human services field, supporting individuals, families, and couples to heal from traumatic experiences and become empowered to navigate life’s challenges. While serving diverse populations through nonprofit work at domestic violence women’s shelters, juvenile halls, public schools, and foster youth and family centers, I have become adept at navigating the challenges that come with involvement in systems and generational traumas.
My therapeutic orientation is person-centered and strengths-based, meaning I partner with clients in identifying their inner wisdom and core strengths to help them make deeper connections with themselves and others. I practice evidence-based treatments grounded in cognitive behavioral and solution-focused theories to help clients achieve their goals. I strive to ensure that clients feel safe and heard, as this is paramount to healing parts of the self that may be broken and moving towards achieving wholeness and inner peace.
Outside of my practice, I am family focused, love soaking up time with my husband and daughter, and have a heart for the great outdoors. I enjoy hiking, reading, practicing yoga, a good cup of coffee, and exploring all that the Bay Area has to offer.

Services
As your therapist, I empower you to resolve challenges in relationships by developing tools to build confidence, process grief and trauma, and develop healthier communication. I will partner with you in identifying your inner wisdom and core strengths to help you make deeper connections with yourself and others.

One on one sessions for adults and teens are tailored to meet your unique needs. Together, we will explore patterns and their impact on your life, develop a healthier relationship with yourself, and heal areas that are not serving you.

Learn ways to strengthen your relationships, improve communication, and deepen your connection with each other in joint sessions. I utilize the Gottman method, which you can read more about here.

In faith based therapy sessions, I incorportate my Christian faith background to bring your relationship with God to the forefront of healing. See my Christian Counseling profile here.
