Hi, I understand how difficult it can be at times to face the challenges of life. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California and have been practicing here for the past 7 years.
I graduated from Pepperdine University with a Masters in Clinical Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy. I understand how hard it can be to find balance in managing relationships, work ,and other areas of life. I have experience working with conflict resolution, relationship issues and communication, as well as abuse and trauma. I also have experience with parenting issues and understand how challenging it can be to be face difficulties with a child. I have treated anxiety and depression, and and hope to help you access your own strengths to face whatever situation you are currently finding challenging.
I use a client centered approach to therapy, which means I focus on the relationship between client and therapist and use a warm and empathetic approach to help you in your therapy process. I also use cognitive behavioral techniques to help you address what is going on and have additional tools to help.
I understand what factors culture can play in our lives and our beliefs as well and will focus on that area as well if you wish. I enjoy spending time with my children and family in my spare time and love the outdoors! I look forward to meeting you and working with you!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Grief, Anger management, Self esteem, Depression
