About:
I specialize with Personal Empowerment, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder, Dependent or Stressful Relationships and Unhappy Childhood. I help my clients develop strengths, create effective coping skills and use proven techniques to help release blocks and negative beliefs. I offer adult, child, and adolescent counseling.
My education and background includes a Masters in Psychology. My therapy is Transpersonal, which integrates philosophies to heal the Mind, Body and Spirit, honoring where you are in your process. Transpersonal comes from the Latin words, Trans meaning beyond or through and Persona meaning mask. Would you be interested in getting beyond your protection and defenses to develop your authentic self? Interested in shedding the layers and allowing yourself to shine? Are you willing to awaken your spirit!
Counselingfor more than seven years with adolescents, children and adults, my approach is holistic and supportive, focusing on solutions and developing positive attributes in
hopes of cultivating empowerment and creating more fulfilling life experiences.
My experience includes counseling adults in areas surrounding relationship issues, unhappy childhood, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, anxiety, addiction, codependency, self-care and emotional regulation.
My experience also includes adolescent counseling in areas such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, learning disabilities and behavioral issues, helping them with social skills, developing strengths, managing emotions and developing skills needed to
transition from high school to young adulthood.I also was a child therapist with kindergarten through eighth graders working on areas surrounding self esteem, anxiety and depression.
Other past experience includes being The Program Director of New Outlooks, Alcohol and Drug Program at CHAC in Mountain View. This involved managing the program, including counseling individuals, groups and families. I worked as a therapist with the individuals to release anxiety, develop self-esteem,
communication skills and find alternate adaptive behaviors.
I have a MA in Psychology and advanced training such as: Level II EMDR training, which is an effective treatment approach used to help aid in desensitizing and reprocessing negative memories and Holistic And Rapid Transformation Training (HART), which is a very effective process to help get to the root of the problem (negative core beliefs), release negative feelings, fears, anxiety, sadness, anger and transform your life. Also, my advanced training includes mentoring with a Shaman/ Spiritual Healer and some training in hypnosis, which has increased my repertoire of very effective relaxation tools to teach my clients.
