"Empowering children, adolescents, adults, and families who struggle with various mental health disorders is important to me. I enjoy assisting clients to constantly strive to achieve optimal growth and wellbeing. I will guide clients in gaining therapeutic tools that allow for growth while achieving positive functioning. I practice a strength-based approach to therapeutic assistance. My modes of treatments are evidence-based and derive from a bio-psychosocial approach. Additional approach methods may include a Family Systems approach, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy. I am very excited to serve clients in the Bay Area. My hope is to assist clients in attaining the change they want to see."
