About Me
With 15 years in the mental health field, my career began in agency work, supporting families with autistic children. Over time, I transitioned to private practice, specializing in individual psychotherapy for the past decade. Additionally, I managed a group therapy program for chronic pain at a Functional Rehabilitation program in Oakland, CA, for 8 years.
My Philosophy
I believe that to effectively deliver powerful psychotherapy models, I must embody these practices in my own life. Mental health and mental hygiene are central to my well-being, and I continuously engage in mindfulness meditation and personal psychotherapy as part of my self-inquiry.
Therapeutic Approach
My approach is holistic and integrates several key models:
- Internal Family Systems (IFS): To help individuals understand and heal their internal parts.
- Polyvagal Theory: To address the impact of the nervous system on emotional and physical well-being.
- Mindfulness Meditation and Somatic-Based Practices: To enhance self-awareness and physical presence.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To address negative thought patterns and behaviors.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To foster psychological flexibility and commitment to values.
I am formally trained in these models and currently serve as a Program Assistant for IFSCA, a Canadian organization that trains practitioners in IFS.
Personal Interests
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, exploring different city neighborhoods on long walks, and spending quality time with family and friends.
