My Approach to Helping

I have extensive experience as a counselor having worked in numerous clinical settings and with people of all walks of life. I have worked as a psychotherapist in the central valley for 20 years helping people overcome self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, marital problems, obsessive-compulsive disorders, performance problems at work and sports, and much more. My approach is straightforward... I work with you to fully understand your current problems and how they developed and together we customize a treatment plan to get you back on track to the life you want. I utilize a variety of effective therapeutic approaches to address cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problem areas in your life that may be holding you back. I have specific training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy-DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-ACT, Gestalt Therapy, Hypnosis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-CBT, Gottman Marital Counseling, and Sports Performance Psychology.

DBT
DBT, is a unique CBT based therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, with whom I have been trained. I offer DBT in an individual and skills group modality.

DBT skills training is a very effective set of skills that can assist clients in modulating their moods better, learning how not to be controlled by emotions, learning how to advocate more skillfully for self, and learning how to radically accept conditions that can't be changed in the moment, including one's own self.

Who can benefit:
- Depressed clients
- Clients with anger problems
- Clients struggling with chronic stress
- Clients struggling with emotional dyscontrol
- Clients with chronic relational disruptions
- Clients with Suicidal or self-mutilating tendencies

DBT skills training content:
- Mindfulness training
- Emotional Regulation skills training
- Interpersonal skills training
- Distress Tolerance skills training

Sports Psychology
Additionally, I offer sports psychology based performance mental coaching. In the field of sports psychology there is an abundance of practical information that helps athletes perform better. Every serious athlete strives to perform to their highest potential. However, most overlook the field of psychology as a resource to elevate their game to the next level. Using knowledge gained from decades of sports psychology, I am able to help you achieve your personal athletic goals by targeting the core elements of your mind that influence peak performance.

As sports performance mental coach, I work with clients, youth and adult, amateur and professional, in customizing an individualized sports performance improvement plan. This oftentimes means addressing psychological obstacles which prevent optimal performance such as negative thinking, negative emotions, performance anxiety, confidence issues, practice problems, and off the field problems.
