Find a Therapist in California

I believe as humans we desire to connect and align with our true selves and I am committed to providing a space where folks can be who they are, explore their identity, and work through difficult emotions and life experiences. Life can bring on unexpected challenges and worries that make it difficult for us to be the best versions of ourselves. I believe you are not defined by your past experiences or childhood traumas, but rather how you choose to heal and forge your own path. My goal is to support my clients with achieving their version of happiness through a healing and non judgemental therapeutic space. I have experience working with teens and adults ( ages 13-40) in various therapeutic settings. 

I specialize in working with the BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ community in the following areas: Anxiety/ Stress related disorders , Depression/ Mood Disorders , Gender Identity, parental Stress, trauma, Anger Management, Interpersonal relationships, Stress management, self-esteem, and school issues. 

Using a strength based and client centered approach I will help guide and coach you through ways to cope and work through various transitions, life changes, and any other stressors that come your way. I work with my clients to create a therapeutic space that feels client centered while pulling from therapeutic modalities such as narrative therapy, mindfulness, DBT, CBT, and solution focused. 

A little about me. I am originally from the Bay Area. I originally went to Laney College before transferring to Utah Tech University on a basketball scholarship and obtained my B.A in Psychology. I found my joy in the field of psychology when working as a counselor at a non public middle/ high school for emotionally disturbed children. I moved on to obtain my M.A in Counseling Psychology from Holy Names University in Oakland CA. I have gained working experience with teens and adults in various settings such as, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, school based, and private practice. I identify as a queer woman of color. I am a new parent and enjoying all that comes with that role. My favorite things to do in my spare time are go on walks, binge watch a good netflix documentary, listen to true crime podcasts, and spend time with my family.
