About me

I have over 15 years of experience providing therapy services to adolescents, couples, families and adults. My approach is a combination of collaborative talk therapy with a strong emphasis on mindfulness practices that foster self-awareness and behavior modification that result in more positive outcomes. My approach: My approach also includes active use of the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused therapy. I currently work with individual adult clients.
I have worked as a School Counselor/Case Manager and Marriage and Family Therapist in various hospital and mental health clinic treatment settings in California to include work as a member of mental health treatment service teams that included psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, peer counselors and family service workers. I earned a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University. I am licensed in the State of California as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I also hold certification as a Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC).

An amazing Therapist!Just based off of our first conversation he helped me get to the root of my problems and gave me actionable steps on how to deal with my underlying issues. I have seen improvement in my life the last few weeks just by following his guidance. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

My biggest worry was that it would take a while to find the right therapist. But he picked up on my personality and root issues very quickly. I feel like I’m on a conscious path to unlearning a lot of patterns. I’m grateful for his support.
