(he/him)
I am glad you are taking time to get to know me. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have my M.S. in clinical psychology from San Francisco State University and my undergrad in psychology from Purdue University. I have worked in San Francisco for seventeen years with multicultural families and individuals that have been in crisis. I have worked with a multitude of differing diagnosis and problems over this extensive period of time. I take such pride in helping families and individuals live a better life and obtain their desired goals. I am glad to have been around in my job long enough to have observed the positive results my contributions have made. I am passionate in wanting to help alleviate suffering and I stay determined in doing so.
I want you and I to feel very comfortable with each other where you realize you can be open and honest with me. I am a very non-judgmental therapist who really wants to get to know you and help you improve your quality of life. I am compassionate and want you to know I am with you on this journey.
I am warm, compassionate, genuine but will also be honest and direct. I am open and really you to feel safe and open with me. I am nonjudgmental and just want to help you live an easier life. I will stay invested until we figure it out together and I will come up with the best treatment plan that is specific for your goals and your needs.
I have extensive experience working with couples, adolescence and adults. I work with relationship problems, ADHD, ADD, Anxiety and Depression. I also have a strong background in doing crisis work. If you are having life stressors that are preventing you from having life satisfaction and fulfillment than we need to get you to a better place. I want my clients to be the best version of themselves and not be held back by anxiety and depression.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
For years I would do psychiatric evaluations in a major city for adolescents and youth that came up in crisis. The crisis situation generally had been evolving over time effecting home life and academics. These situations always required work with the client and the client's family and school to have long lasting success.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
An individual's thoughts shape their perception of the world. This effects their belief system and thus their behavior, attitude and outlook. CBT is a tool I always incorporate with my clients. It is necessary to work with these beliefs for behavioral change to happen.
Collaborative Management and Assessment of Suicidality (CAMS)
For many years I conducted evaluations for a population that was either danger to themselves or others. After the initial assessment I could better formulate a treatment plan to work with this population to have an improved outlook.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is essential in working with an adolescent or youth to sustain positive change and achieve the desired goal of everyone involved.
Psychodynamic
I incorporate this technique as well. A thorough understanding of an individuals past and insight is significant to making positive changes in your life.
