Research and Specialization
My graduate research focused on creating inclusive environments in higher education, grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT). This theoretical framework examines how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation shapes human behavior and performance. This research has profound implications for:
- Understanding individual motivation
- Creating supportive environments
- Fostering authentic engagement
- Developing sustainable performance strategies
Transforming Mental Performance in the Coachella Valley
My Approach
Drawing from my research in Self-Determination Theory, I believe that understanding each client's unique motivational drivers is key to achieving lasting results. I integrate this evidence-based approach with practical techniques to help clients discover their internal motivations while navigating external pressures.I believe in treating each client with respect, kindness, and undivided attention through active listening. My practice creates a safe, accepting environment where clients can explore their challenges and aspirations. Using a holistic approach that combines person-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy, I empower clients with practical tools for a more balanced life.
Community Commitment
Deeply rooted in the Coachella Valley, I've dedicated myself to our community's wellbeing, from fundraising during COVID-19 to supporting various non-profits. I understand our unique valley's needs and am committed to enhancing mental wellness across all age groups and professions. My diverse experience includes working with:
- College athletes
- Military personnel
- Active seniors
- Wellness center clients
