I have accumulated over 33 years of experience in the healthcare field, starting in medical records and later transitioning into the insurance sector. Subsequently, I assumed the role of Violence Prevention Coordinator/Facilitator, where I educated healthcare professionals on assisting individuals facing sexual or physical assault. During this time, I also led the Ramsey County Sexual Assault Protocol Team, bringing together a multidisciplinary group in the Saint Paul area to create victim-sensitive protocols for survivors of sexual assault. Concurrently, I pursued and completed a master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services. Opting for a different path than a PsyD, I entered the field of Nursing. For 14 years, I dedicated my efforts to working with individuals dealing with eating disorders, finding immense fulfillment in this area. In May 2022, I accomplished my PMHNP from the University of North Dakota and subsequently worked at a psychiatric clinic in the Fargo Moorhead area for about a year before deciding to establish my private practice.

For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to being a clinical and educational psychologist, forging deep connections with countless students and their families. This passion and dedication were recognized when I received the "Outstanding Psychologist of the Year" award from the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists. With such a rich history in the field, transitioning into private practice was the next logical step. Over the past three years, I've donned multiple hats: a Licensed Educational Psychologist, a Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and a Certified Clinical ADHD Provider. My zeal for telehealth is undeniable. This digital medium lets me reach out to countless individuals across California, breaking geographical barriers. It's an absolute boon for those grappling with anxiety or depression, allowing them to find solace without stepping out. What makes my approach stand out? It's the unique strategies and hacks I've cultivated. They're not just effective; they're quick and easy. A mere 5-10 minutes of daily practice with these techniques promises significant improvement. Whether it's enhancing focus, bettering sleep habits, or just generally uplifting one's outlook on life, the benefits are manifold. But there's a challenge I must address. The title "Educational Psychologist" sometimes leads to misconceptions. Despite this label, I possess clinical certifications that equip me to offer services equivalent to many clinical psychologists. In fact, my extensive training and hands-on experience often surpass many traditional licenses out there. It's disheartening when the expertise gets overshadowed by a mere title. I prioritize affordable, inclusive mental health support. Sliding scale fees for all and free 15-min consultations for students. Don't let a title define the quality of care you receive. Let's pave a healthier, happier path together.

When working with people who have depression, first we have to identify what type of depression it is. It can possibly be situational or chronic depression. I then start to access the needs of the client. I usually provide tons of coping skills for depression and allow for the client to choose what is going to work for them. I encouraged them to implement and practice the coping mechanisms to see if it reduces their depressive symptoms. If not, we explore other options.

I have over 20 years of experience helping people achieved their greatest potential when it comes to their mental health. I believe that nothing happens until the time is right and the time for you is now to allow me to aide in your personal healing journey. You deserve to be heard in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you are able to work through your pain. I am here to empower, listen and inspire you to work towards your greatest potential. Know that there is strength, faith and courage in your struggle. "You Matter" Reach out to me and let's take this journey together. Hope doesn't always come from within you.

Approaching individuals who are depressed with empathy and compassion is essential while dealing with them. The first stage in therapy is to establish a relationship of trust and compassion. I carry out a thorough evaluation to learn more about the precise symptoms, causes, and severity of their depression. I work with the client to create a specialized treatment plan based on this evaluation. The treatment strategies in this approach might combine cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness exercises, and even medication management in conjunction with a psychiatrist. Along with psychoeducation on depression, I provide my clients coping skills to help them get through each day. Monitoring progress and ensuring the patient feels supported on their journey to recovery need regular check-ins and modifications to the treatment plan.

I treat various patients, including ages 5 and up, and all socioeconomic ranges. I aim to provide my patients with whatever they need through our outpatient programs. I embrace a holistic approach to the care I provide to my patients.
