As a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist with over ten years of experience in practice, I use a variety of modalities and therapeutic techniques that are catered to the specific needs of my clients. After obtaining my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University, where I was trained in a humanistic approach, I began training in various settings, primarily chemical dependency treatment center (residential and outpatient settings. I have worked with children and adolescents with severe emotional disorders, adults with co-occurring disorders (ex: anxiety and substance use disorders combined).
