My education and experience consist of the following: I have a BA degree in Child Development from San Jose State University & a MA degree in Clinical Psychology from Notre Dame University. I became EMDR trained in December 2021 & EMDR Certified as a therapist in 2/2024. I've gained my knowledge and clinical skills while working for non-profit agencies & for Stanislaus County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services as a Mental Health Clinician. In my role as a therapist, I provided mental health assessments, individual/family therapy & crisis intervention services to children/families & adults that are impacted by trauma, domestic violence and grief/loss. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, in treatment, I provide a variety of evidence-based modalities based upon the needs of my client, such as CBT/Mindfulness/ Seeking Safety, along with EMDR therapy.
