Hello!
Hello!
I was born and raised in the Bay Area and my current practice is located both online and in-person in downtown Hayward, CA. I am in my late 40s and married with an 11 year old daughter. I have a strong passion for the creative arts with an emphasis on music and photography. I specialize in Art Therapy, which allows deeper insight and mindfulness into your self. The art you create is combined with talk therapy to connect your feelings to consciousness. Art experience is not required and art is an optional tool to use in therapy. I also provide play therapy when working with children and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for teens and adults.
Sessions are designed to fit your needs and introduce you to new ways of coping. I have been working with individuals and families for over 20 years and I have extensive experience with children, adolescents, adults, trauma, multicultural populations, and the LGBTQ+ community. I also provide an assessment for those who want to gain more clarity on criteria related to a specific diagnosis.
