As a Therapist…
As a Therapist…
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of clinical psychotherapy experience, specializing in treatment of adolescents and their parents. I have experience working with adolescents in school and clinical settings. I have also worked with adults who are struggling with family communication issues, stress and mental health issues. I have led groups for parents of teens with substance abuse issues, as well as co-parenting education groups. I’ve also treated other clinical issues including: depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, substance abuse, relationship conflict and grief.
I have a Masters of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (2010) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration (1998) from Santa Clara University. My course work included coursework in Positive Psychology; Human Development; Psychology of Relationships; Group Therapy; Multicultural Theory; Ethics and Law; Grief and Loss; Counseling the Adolescent; Career Counseling; and Group Counseling.
My Personal Story-
I was born and raised in San Jose/Silicon Valley and always assumed that I would go work in hi-tech business. As such, I graduated with my Bachelors in Business and worked as a corporate professional in Human Resources for over 20 years. I found the department within a hi-tech company that is most focused on helping the people. In 2004, I felt a desire to help people on a deeper and more personal level. So, I began to volunteer at a crisis hotline (now Bill Wilson’s Contact Cares) and came to a realization. I became excited about connecting with people, understanding their values, emotions and goals and helping them work towards change. I especially connected with the teens (13+) and young adults who are doing so much transformation and forming their identity, which is filled with so much hope and opportunity.
I am many things in addition to being a Therapist. I am a wife to my husband of 21 years. I’m a mom to two teen daughters. I’m a professional with business experience, who understands the corporate environment. I’m a daughter, sister, friend and confidante – and have the life experience that I believe allows me to be open to hear your individual life story.
