My Approach to Helping

Throughout my career, I have worked as a therapist helping individuals, couples,
families and children in private practice, profit and non-profit organizations for over 15 years. I have also work with San Mateo County for 10 years with the Youth Mental Health department. There I have helped youth and their families overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and school related issues among some. I developed a curriculum in Mindfulness and Compassion Coping Skills for adolescent and adults and ran a group for over 6 years. I have extensive experience supporting families with parenting challenges, women undergoing infertility, pre and postpartum depression.

I have supervised interns from a variety of schools and I enjoy and value the process of mentoring them in their journeys. I am bi-cultural and bi-lingual in Spanish and have worked with many clients of different cultural backgrounds.
In addition, I teach Trauma Sensitive Yoga and help people relate to their bodies in a healthier and kinder way. 
 
In the process of serving clients, I allow the fullness of my heart and passion to enter the therapeutic relationship. In doing so, I have constantly been surprised that no matter how hard the challenges and situations are, the strengths and wisdom each client is able to draw from their own experience is incredible.

More Info About My Practice

Having attended the California Institute of Integral Studies and graduating from a masters in Integral Psychology in 2005, gives me a deeper understanding and passion to work with clients in a more holistic way. After my masters, I deepened my studies by getting a postgraduate certification in Mindfulness and Compassion for Psychotherapist from CII.
I am an adjunct professor teaching Child and Youth Psychotherapy.
I also lead workshops nationally and internationally in how to treat anxiety and depression and Mindfulness.
