The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
CARL R. ROGERS
Me.
Clinical work.
My client-centered approach to therapy is one that focuses on relationships and being human. To meet you with unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding. Continuing to learn and train is an integral part of our work together and I am constantly continuing to expand and enhance my skills.
I worked, for three years, as a counselor at the Southern California Counseling Center (SCCC), one of the top training facilities in California. SCCC is a not-for-profit mental health agency serving the community under the premise that mental health care is a right, NOT a privilege. At SCCC, I’ve completed hundreds of counseling hours with individuals, couples, and families and facilitated process groups. I worked with students in LAUSD providing in-school individual counseling for children and adolescents. I have completed additional training, including:
MBSR - Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Certified
Externship in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Core Skills in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Our House - Intensive Grief Training program
The Trauma Resource Institute - Community Resiliency Model (CRM)
The Trauma Resource Institute - Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)
SCCC School-Based Training Program
SCCC Clinical Skills Training Program
SCCC Family Therapy Training Program
