About
I am a licensed mental health therapist serving in California as Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a wealth of knowledge both as a clinical therapist and also as a coach and counselor. My approach My approach combines a variety of theoretical approaches including, but not limited to: person-centered and strength-based approach, while integrating motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy, family systems and mindfulness based counseling. My focus Over 20 years of experience in assisting persons with a wide range of challenges including: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, career related issues, relationship issues, parenting and marital problems. In the beginning of my private practice venture, I have served as an addiction specialist, interventionist and counselor for about 6.5 years. At that time, I was also the administrator for an adolescent treatment center in Northern California. I have also helped many people going through adversities related to major transitions, adult life goals, social skills, grief and loss, substance abuse and sex addiction. I have a wealth of knowledge in codependency and attachment theory that have been reported as life challenge liberating for hundreds of people. My communication style My counseling style is warm and interactive. My journey to therapy It is a true honor to be a part of another person awakening. My life is so rewarding as I get to support my clients in nurturing their inner light in order to reach deeper cognitive and emotional states of freedom, peace, joy, love and harmony. We all have gifts to share. I know it is my calling and with great joy and deep gratitude, I dedicate my career to collecting and sharing more gifts with those whom I am given opportunity to share paths with. My goals for you Upon entry and throughout sessions. My first session with you Our first session usually is fun where we both provide a little introduction to one another.
