Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Bay Area
Work with Me
Although I use an integrative approach, I rely heavily on evidence-based modality, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which look closely at how our thoughts behaviors and feelings interact with each other generating patterns that, at times, can keep us stuck.
“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”

My Approach
I am a warm, intuitive practitioner who can easily attune to my clients’ feelings. I value honesty, authenticity and clarity, and carry my work based on these tenants.
01
In the beginning stages of my work, I create a safe and supportive space that will allow us to uncover any desires that may have been hidden due to past trauma, social expectations and/or significant losses. During this stage, I will be gathering a compressive history of your upbringing, the dynamics of your family of origin along with your cultural and spiritual values.
02
In the second part of our work together, we will identify thoughts and behavioral patterns that you may have developed to survive challenging times but may no longer be serving you. Through techniques based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will closely look at what you do in your day to day and identify deep-seated beliefs and behaviors that may be sabotaging your wellbeing and keeping you stuck in a place you don’t want to be.
03
In the last final stage of our work, I will support you in the process of taking appropriate action steps and hold you accountable every step of the way.
Please keep in mind that the steps I’ve outlined are a rough guideline of how I work; the healing process is in no way linear, and regression is a natural part of any development process. You may find yourself oscillating between different stages throughout your healing journey.
My hope through our work together is that you can build the life tapestry of your dreams and find purpose and meaning along the way. If you are feeling called and ready, I am here.
