About Me
My Background
After graduation from Western, I worked along side Dr. Chanter providing counseling services to the Next Move-Goodwill program. Clients attained education and services in many areas of wellness. Helping clients find the life worth living is a reward and a gift to my work.
Formerly, I led the Dual Diagnosis Outpatient Group therapy at Saint Joesph's Behavioral Health. I provided DBT group therapy at SJBH. Teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, Interpersonal effectiveness, and Mindfulness skills.
DBT therapy is one of the leading treatments for all areas of life. DBT has transformed many lives thanks to creator Marsha Linehan.
I hold a License in Marriage Family Counseling (LMFT 130217), and a Licensed Advanced Drug Alcohol Counseling license LAADC. In addition a Clinical Hypnosis Certification.
As a addiction therapist I take a holistic approach. Taking steps to bring healing to the brain with Mind-body techniques.
My approach is compassion focused, attachment oriented, teaching DBT skills, while focusing on Mind-Body-Spirit healing. If you want a dedicated, open hearted therapist, who will walk with you through these difficult times reach out for a free consultation. Located in Fair Oaks, Ca.
Can provide telehealth within CA.
My Free Time
When I'm not at work, I really love to walk my husky Cove. I enjoy kayaking and exploring our local Northern Ca. Forests. Lake Natomas is my other home, enjoying the elements and nature is my thing.
Yesterday I was Clever and so I wanted to change the world, Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
