My clinical BACKGROUND

The early part of my clinical journey:

My journey as a therapist has been quite diverse, starting with my practicum in a school setting where I worked with children aged 12 to 18. I met with students on a weekly basis, facilitating family sessions whenever possible. It proved to be a very valuable experience as I delved into the intricacies of the school system, learning even the technical aspects of an Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), while coordinating care with teachers and parents to help address various mental health challenges.

Transitioning to outpatient agency work, I broadened my scope, working with clients of all ages, races, and backgrounds, including the AAPI community. Here, I gained experience working with individuals from diverse cultures and ethnicities, while also understanding the nuances of assimilation levels as a consideration when working with immigrants. Over the course of 3-4 years, I obtained my licensure in California as an MFT in 2014. To give you insight into the process back then, it typically took an average of 9-12 months for MFT licenses to be approved after submission.

My clinical EXPERIENCES IN NEVADA

The latter part of my clinical journey:

My move to Nevada opened doors to a whole new clientele, primarily focusing on substance use, co-occurring disorders, and mental health among adults. Collaborating with courts, federal departments, and veterans, I delved deep into trauma's pervasive impact, recognizing its root in many mental health struggles.

During this phase, I facilitated numerous groups, worked with individuals and couples and ventured into leadership roles, including supervising MFT and CPC interns. In June of 2023, I established my private practice, specializing in trauma and anxiety among adults.

From children to couples, moderate to high-acuity cases, outpatient to intensive outpatient care, and agency work to solo practice, I've cultivated a diverse skill set over the past 15 plus years in hopes of becoming a knowledgeable and competent supervisor for you.

Modalities

I have received training in several therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), among others.

In my practice, I primarily work from a trauma-informed approach and use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have adjusted the use of EMDR from an in-person setting to effective use via telehealth.

Many clinicians who are new to EMDR shy away from the remote methods for understandable reasons. It’s an adjustment, but a very helpful skill to develop if you are interested in seeing clients remotely in your future.

  • Advanced EMDR training: Resonant Cognitive Interweaves

  • Advanced EMDR Flash Technique

  • EMDR Tools for Complex PTSD

  • Exposure & Response Prevention for GAD, Panic Disorder, OCD, Social Anxiety and Phobias

  • Feeling Great: Techniques for Treating Depression with Dr. David Burns

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills Training with Marsha Linehan

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Certificate Course

  • Motivational Interviewing 1 & 2

Trainings

If you want to grow with a supervisor who is well-versed in trauma and anxiety, possesses expertise in addiction, and values culturally-inclusive therapy, I’m here to support your growth every step of the way.

Ready to start this journey?

I am currently accepting applications for MFT and CPC Interns for Primary and/or Secondary supervision. I am unable to provide supervision if you have NOT completed your graduate program. All applicants are required to submit a resume, complete an interview and sign a supervision contract prior to acceptance as an intern. If you feel we might be a good fit, apply below.

Questions?

  • I take a trauma-informed approach to conceptualizing many of the current struggles my clients experience because over the last decade, I have found trauma to be the common denominator of most mental health and substance-use related problems.

  • I’d like to think that I am a well-rounded clinician with a diverse set of skills due to my experiences. Firstly, I hold licensure in two different states, which means I have experienced first hand the challenges of transferring licensure from one state to another.

    Secondly, I have experience working in an agency/community setting, and transitioning into a solo private practice where you are completely in charge. Each of these settings require a different set of skills in order to “succeed.”

    Lastly, I have experience with providing culturally competent treatment and also understand the nuances and challenges of providing therapy in languages other than English.

  • They have described me as someone whom they can learn all the necessary clinical knowledge, noting my thoroughness. They would say that I made myself available at all times. They would likely describe me as someone they could feel comfortable being their authentic self because I like to authentically show up.

    And I’m going to guess that they would say, “she’s to the point, keeps it real, and you’re going to know your stuff and feel confident by the time you’re done.”

  • Please reach out to me for details regarding fees as this is based upon a case-by-case basis. It’s dependent on the type of supervision you are needing, such as individual versus group, live-supervision versus remote.

    I only take on 2 interns at a time, which means that individual supervision will be more realistic than a group supervision setting.

  • I have an ethical obligation to ensure that all your competencies are met in your journey to becoming a licensed therapist.

    Therefore, we will discuss and collaborate on goals that you might have for yourself along with creating a supervision experience in which your competencies are met.

    If you work well under structure and a direct approach, we will be a good fit for one another.
