Soledad is the heart of the most technologically advanced and productive agricultural areas in the world. Companies based here include Dole, D’Arrigo Brothers, Mann Packing, Taylor Farms, and Tanimura & Antle Fresh Foods. Eating fresh food is both physically and mentally good for you and the many therapists in Soledad agree. 

The town of Soledad is also one of the primary vineyards in California, with several dozen wineries. While alcohol is not recommended for some mental health illnesses like depression, wine is a nice relaxant for those with anxiety. The Soledad therapists can help you figure out if this would be good for you.

My goal as your therapist is to help you regain your self-confidence and help you succeed on your own.

I have a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and eclectic approach which combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and and any other approaches that are needed. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I enjoy incorporating art, creativity, and play into therapy!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience of providing therapy for various mental health conditions and from that I believe in the dignity of people and professional treatment is most effective when dignity of the person is at the forefront of therapy. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress, in addition to issues embedded in those challenges such as relationship problems, difficulties with a sense of purpose, coping with past abuse, ADHD, and unresolved grief. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you on goals and objectives to achieve while having a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, empathetic, and informative about different mental health conditions or socio-emotional difficulties to empower decision-making about what goals to create and pursue in therapy. Therapy is intended to be individualized to see the whole person and not just the issues that are brought forward. With that said, I want to know what is working for you, and please ask me questions at any point during our time together. Apart of my professional goal is for you to be confident in sharing with me what I can do in assisting you. I look forward to meet you.
