Nationally Board Certified Health/Wellness Coach
NBC-HWC 
 

I bring over twenty years of clinical training and experience working with a culturally diverse range of children, adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families. My work has taken place across many settings—including state psychiatric hospitals, residential programs, homeless shelters, non‑profit organizations, regional centers, in‑home services, and private practice. Over the years, I have served as a clinician, clinical supervisor, case manager, psychological evaluator, and program developer.

Clients have sought support for a wide spectrum of concerns, from short‑term life adjustments to long‑standing, deeply rooted emotional patterns, as well as guidance in making meaningful and sustainable lifestyle changes.

My therapeutic and coaching approach is integrative and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I draw from evidence‑based modalities including appreciative inquiry, acceptance‑based practices such as mindfulness, cognitive‑behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, relational and solution‑focused work, and transpersonal perspectives. Today, my work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, allowing me to help clients understand their emotional world with clarity, compassion, and depth.
