About My Clients
I focus on family of origin/early attachments to help clients recognize patterns of relationship dysfunction in adulthood. Individual therapy techniques include DBT, CBT and healthy relationship skill building. Skill building includes assertiveness training, conflict-resolution, overcoming chronic people pleasing and setting healthy boundaries with others. Therapy will focus on setting boundaries, assertiveness, conflict resolution and recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns.
My Background and Approach
I have worked in the mental health/psychology field since 2000 and am passionate about helping individuals, families and couples achieve more connection, wellness, awareness and insight. I have concentrated training/experience providing treatment to disenfranchised/marginalized groups (BIPOC/LGBTQIA+), couples, families, inmates, parolees, people with sexual compulsions/addictions and people struggling with racial trauma. I provide direct, yet compassionate feedback of a solution-oriented nature to help clients achieve treatment goals.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about helping the most disenfranchised and/or marginalized populations. This is evidenced by my work in the foster care system, California prison/parole system and developing a private practice dedicated to creating safe spaces for BIPOC/LQBTQIA+ people.
