EXPERIENCE

 

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) # 93810. I earned my MA in Counseling with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling at Saint Mary’s College of California. 

I provide therapy to adolescents and adults. My practice emphasizes evidence-based treatments. I provide emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral life skills.

I am also a part of a team of therapists that offer Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) through Mount Diablo Psychological Services (MDPS). MDPS offers Evidence-Based Therapy and Emotion Regulation Skills Groups.

For more information please visit the MDPS website: mtdiablopsychologicalservices.com

In addition, I have worked as a therapist in both public and private school settings, therapeutic camps (Quest Therapeutic Camps Inc), and community mental health clinics. Moreover, I have worked in schools such as Charles Armstrong School, Hope Academy, Stellar Academy for Dyslexics, Fusion Academy -Walnut Creek, and Compass High School serving students with learning differences. While working at Compass High School, I taught a social skills, a remedial reading class, and provided on-site therapeutic services. I am a professional multi-sensory dyslexia Slingerland® screener (identifying deficits and/or weaknesses in children with specific language disabilities) and tutor. I have been intensively trained in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

“My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and goal- oriented. Furthermore, I believe with support, empathy, and professional guidance, an individual has the capability to grow, learn, and achieve their greatest potential.”
