One of the best gifts anyone can provide is making us feel seen, heard, and understood or valued. Sometimes it is ourselves we are at war with and sometimes it is our family member or partner we are worried about. We all strive to be our best self and to live happy but sometimes that means getting support.
With over five years experience working in therapy in various settings with students, parents, teachers, and school administrators. Also a few years experience as classroom group facilitator of Social Emotional Learning in Menlo Park, Redwood City, and Mountain View school districts.
I provide a friendly, honest, non-judgemental therapeutic space with a combination of talk therapy and expressive techniques to engage the areas of challenge and celebrate the character strengths that make you unique.Primary focus of therapeutic work includes anxiety, depression, illness/grief, LGBTQ+, and situational stress and family life transitions like separation and divorce. Support provided by individual, parent-child, and group sessions.
Sometimes reading self-help books or talking to friends isn't enough. I want to help you create a roadmap towards your goals while exploring what's not working in your life, and celebrate your strengths along the way! Using a relational and strengths-based approach, I incorporate art therapy and culturally humble interventions to improve emotional regulation, social skills, coping mechanisms, and self-efficacy. I am passionate about the transformational power of art as an agent of growth and change. I work with children, teens, and adults in discovering tools that will create space for a more fulfilling, joy-filled life.
My therapy style is collaborative and my approach is warm, genuine, compassionate, and intuitive. I honor my client's journey and hold the deep belief that they have the power and resilience to move towards health and wellness within the mind, body, and spirit. I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where client's feel understood.
I will meet you where you're at, while incorporating appropriate humor and creative expression to support you on your path to self-discovery. The most important investment you can make is in yourself. Are you ready to let go of past pain, discover joy, and deepen your relationship with your authentic self?
Life throws a lot at us and we all need support along the way to be our best selves! I provide a warm, open, non-judgemental, strengths-based approach to therapy that is personalized to help meet your needs. My aim is to offer a safe space that will allow you to be seen, heard, unconditionally supported, and shape your personal story into the life you want and deserve. We work together to navigate your challenges, while focusing on your strengths and accomplishing your goals.
I believe we all have the skills and resiliency inside us to own our adversities and work through the inevitable hardships that come our way. Sometimes we just need a little help seeing them! I utilize an integrative, creative approach to therapy that is culturally humble and collaborative. Art Therapy is offered in the forms of drawing, painting, collage, book making, clay, sand tray, and play techniques to move beyond the verbal and provide an expressive / visual outlet for communication. I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic approaches when beneficial. We will work together to foster wellness of the mind, body, and spirit. I am particularly passionate about helping children and families. I offer services to children, teens, adults, families, and couples. I help work through issues of trauma, acute and chronic health conditions, pain management, anxiety, life transitions, and stress management to help achieve your personal therapeutic goals.
You deserve to be the best version of yourself! Through an authentic, caring approach, we will work together to make your life story exactly what you want it to be!
