About Chance
Let’s Reach Your Goals Together
With a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, I bring a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to my work as a mental health counselor. My education has been focused on social justice, patient-centered care, and foundational psychotherapeutic techniques.
I honed my skills through an internship at Pacific Mental Health and completed 3,000 hours of practice to earn my license. Throughout my journey, I have been drawn to psychoanalytical theorists like Jung, Freud, Bion, Winnicott, and Klein, appreciating their insights into the complexities of human dynamics and the importance of compassion in therapy.
Continuing to deepen my understanding of the human experience is a personal mission for me. I collaborate with other professionals in the Psychotherapeutic community, constantly learning and growing. Beyond my professional life, I find joy in outdoor activities like hiking, cooking, and reading. I also embrace physical fitness through weightlifting and combat-type sports. Additionally, the art of making coffee and spending time with loved ones brings me fulfillment.
When you work with me, you can expect a counselor who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to your well-being. Together, we will navigate the intricacies of your experiences and create a supportive environment for your growth and healing. Take the courageous step towards a better tomorrow by seeking out psychotherapy with me.
My Philosophy
A Journey of Self-Discovery and Transformation
When you choose to work with me, rest assured, you are exactly where you need to be. I meet you at your current state, allowing us to explore and experience your feelings as they authentically are, not as they “ought to be.” This journey of introspection illuminates who you are in the here and now, providing invaluable self-knowledge and understanding. It is only through this lens of self-awareness that we can make choices that truly benefit us. Life continuously offers opportunities to evolve from “who we are” into “who we are becoming.” Embrace this transformative process with me, and together, let’s unlock the door to your fullest potential.
