Transformative Counseling and Trauma Healing Services, LLC

I am a doctoral level trained clinical psychologist with a PsyD in Grief Counseling and am a licensed professional counselor (LPC). I have extensive experience working with a wide range of populations. I have worked in the behavioral health field for 12 years and been a psychotherapist for 10 years. I work with adolescents and adults. I have training and expertise in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Flash Technique, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have worked in community mental health, inpatient, adolescent forensic, and private practice settings, and have extensive training in diagnostic and clinical assessments. My education, training, and clinical practices have highlighted multicultural and diversity issues, and I continue to practice in consideration of cultural issues/needs when evaluating, assessing, and providing services to clients. I am originally from San Francisco, which I feel largely shaped who I am and how I see the world. My focus is to meet people where they are and create a trusting relationship to allow people to heal from past trauma and end emotional suffering. I treat each client as an individual but work within a consistent framework. I use an integrative approach to treatment planning, which includes cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and environmental/family systems interventions.
