Sexual Abuse Therapists in Livermore, CA

I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology from Santa Clara University. I spent the first five year of my career working with children and adolescents who experienced sexual abuse. In 2007, I transitioned to the City of Fremont's Youth & Family Services Department. For the past 10 years, I have worked with trauma victims of crime, youth offenders diverted from the juvenile justice system, and adolescents with early addiction issues. I also worked with children who were the victim's of violent crimes and their families

I have been providing professional therapeutic services to a wide range of individuals, couples, and families for over 20 years. My current specialized areas of interest are life transitions, mindfulness with teens, trauma healing using EMDR, and recovery from sexual abuse and addiction.

If you are ready to move forward in your life and need someone who you can trust in their expertise and experience, I am the right provider for you. I specialize in treating trauma especially abuse, assaults, domestic violence and injuries. I can attend to the specific needs of police officers, first responders, veterans. I am a proud support of survivors of childhood abuse and sexual abuse/ exploitation, provider for California Victims of Crime Compensation.

If you are looking for someone to help provide a safe place for vulnerability and growth, to help bring the darkness to light, you've stumbled across the right match. You want someone to walk in that dangerous neighborhood that is sometimes your headspace with you? Here I am. I am the most interested in working with clients that want to get Unstuck and live a life they can feel proud of. I am firm but gentle in my approach to helping you overcome the challenges you seek help with. I value working with couples, teens, solo adults and families (multigenerational as well).

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Blocked? Do you struggle with relationships, being assertive, asking for what you need, setting appropriate boundaries or navigating conflict? Do you have a history of trauma or neglect and still struggle with its effects? As a LMFT, I can help you explore these issues and more, so you can come to understand yourself more deeply and make more conscious life choices.

If you could let go of anything, what would it be? I provide short-term, intensive therapy that resolves the cause of your issue. I am a practitioner of Mimetic Therapies. This means I facilitate profound and transformational experiences in the resolution of Trauma/PTSD and Grief/Loss, as well as panic, depression, phobia, and pain for anyone- regardless of background- interested in feeling better. My ideal client is done talking about it, done doing workbooks, done understanding the cause. I connect deeply and directly with the parts of you that have been trying so hard to protect and heal your self and cause them to collaborate.

My patients come to me because they are stuck - maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument over and over; you can’t seem to shake certain thoughts, feelings, or habits; or your heart and life have broken open in a way you can’t seem to make sense of alone. Many of the people I work with experienced trauma in their past. These experiences can create barriers to fulfillment in relationships and life more broadly - often unknowingly. By remaining curious about what lies beneath the surface, and exploring new ways of relating to self and others, we will work together to create, and claim, a space that is truly your own.

I believe anxiety and stress are at the core of our feelings of disconnection and discontentment. I'm passionate about helping people find relief and freedom from anxiety toward more fulfilled and healthy lives. I use a variety of approaches including mindfulness, coping skills building, distress tolerance skills building, perspective taking, and good old fashioned humor. I'm straight forward and committed to helping you find what works for you. **To learn more about me, please visit my website by clicking the link below.**

I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or that may be asking the question “who am I really?” Life transitions may bring uncertainty which can prevent us from enjoying a healthy and happy life. I am here to discuss tough subjects in order to build coping skills that promote success and a positive self-identity. When working with teens I work with parents to develop an effective plan that helps support their child’s improvement and build meaningful relationships.

It may feel like parts of you are broken or you hurt so deeply and nothing seems to heal the wounds. But you know you want more for yourself, for your relationships, and you want to take that next step towards healing. You may find you are struggling with anxiety, depression, you feel “stuck”, your relationships are challenged, your body feels tense and stressed, or you can’t quite understand why things feel out of sorts. You want to heal, but you don't know where to begin. I want you to know you are not alone, you are not too broken to heal, and you are worthy of living in a body and environment that is calm and enjoyable.

I currently have availability afternoons and evenings. My goal is to help you resolve pain, repair relationships, lessen negative thoughts, heal trauma, and feel better overall. I am down-to-earth and am comfortable talking with many different types of people. I am great at assessing the problem and helping you figure out what you want or need to get your life on track.

Navigating through life can be brutal at times. The price of admission on this journey is often great pain, deep loss, and profound confusion, and many of us believe the measure of strength is how much of it we can navigate alone. But connection and support are often the greatest access points to healing. So our work together will be centered around more compassion and less comparison, more acceptance and less fixing, and more normalizing and less shame. I hope to help create peace within your relationships, encourage empowerment in your choices and gently guide you back home to yourself.

Our mission is to provide health, healing, hope and wholeness to those hurting in and around our community. Our goal is to foster awareness, insight and change that can help a person move from surviving life to thriving in life. We see individuals, couples, families, adolescents and children. Mandarin and Spanish-speaking therapists are available at this time as well.
