Teletherapy for Bakersfield, CA
I have a passion for helping others find healing and growth in their lives and in their relationships with others. I have 23 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have vast experience and training working with grief, loss, trauma and crisis issues. When people reach out for professional help, it is usually because something has changed, shifted, or a significant life event has occurred, and they want additional support or someone to talk to. When they come to therapy, I want my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and at ease.

Every day we face challenging opportunities and situations where we have to make difficult decisions. It may be hard to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves and others. You might be struggling with identifying the different emotions that you are experiencing. Emotions impact our decision-making process, ability to face challenges, maintain healthy relationships, and behaviors. Therapy can be the next step for you to have a supportive space to explore what you are currently experiencing.

My belief as a therapist and as a person is that all people, no matter where they are in life, are equipped with the innate ability to experience mental health. I do not see people as “broken”, rather, at some point in life, all people will find themselves “stuck” for one reason or another. My focus is to create a safe environment to educate and support clients while assisting them in meeting and exceeding their stated life goals.

Therapy is a safe space that can bring about self-discovery and healing. I take an inclusive approach in my work, where I understand how intersections of culture, sexuality, gender, spirituality, family, environment, and relationships shape our identity and how we experience the world. In therapy, you have a space to let your guard down and explore how various factors at play affect your mental health. You will learn skills necessary to embrace the full range of your thoughts and emotions, and also incorporate changes that align with your values.

Navigating through life can at times be challenging. Life stressors may bring forth a myriad of emotions that can be overwhelming and debilitating. Past hurts may intrude and impinge on your way of adapting and succeeding in life. Through psychotherapy, I aim to provide you with a safe space that would allow for a deeper understanding of the challenges you encounter and its impact on the areas of your work, school, and relationships. The safe space that we would work together to create will make way for collaborative reflections and discoveries through self observations, self attunement, and self awareness.

My passion is working with children, teens, adults and parents who yearn to discover their authentic selves, explore and heal past wounds in a way that allows for deeper connection to all parts of self and to tap into, regulate with and respond to the wisdom of the body and emotions (your embodied nervous system) in a way that guides you toward fulfilled living.

I have been active in mental health care for over 40 years, currently specializing in PTSD and other trauma issues. I developed a treatment protocol, called Personalized Embodied Rhythm Coupling (PERC), which is designed to meet your individual needs. “Embodied” means that treatment will help you feel “at home” and “safe” in your body, being in your body in the moment to feel all its emotional, sensory, and physical sensations. You will be connected to, and accept, all parts of your body. You will be able to self-soothe when feeling anxious or fearful.
