Who Am I as a Therapist?
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from San José State University.
I believe that a therapist's growth directly impacts their ability to support clients. This is why I am committed to ongoing professional development through supervision, seminars, conferences, workshops, and personal psychotherapy. I am also an active member of several professional associations, including CAMFT, NCSPP, CALPCC, and Psychotherapy Networker. Additionally, I participate in three weekly peer groups for clinical case consultation, ensuring I bring informed, collaborative insights into my work with clients.
While I approach therapy primarily through a psychodynamic lens, I integrate other theoretical orientations, including attachment theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, systems therapy, and client-centered therapy. Depending on your needs, I tailor my approach to utilize the techniques that will be most beneficial at any given time. This flexibility allows me to effectively support a diverse range of clients.
Key components of my therapeutic style include a holistic perspective, respect, patience, humor, compassion, and empathetic understanding. I use active listening to help clients uncover the roots of their concerns. In some cases, family members may be invited to participate in select sessions, which we will thoroughly discuss and evaluate on a case-by-case basis.
For clients seeking deeper, more intensive psychological work, I offer the option of meeting multiple times per week. These decisions are collaborative and based on individual client needs and goals.
As your therapist, I promise to prioritize my own self-care to remain present, authentic, and self-aware. I believe that, together, we can set meaningful goals and work toward achieving them. You already possess the creativity and strength to find solutions to your challenges, and my role is to create a safe, supportive space for that process.
Let’s do the work together.
