Life happens. And along with it all the feelings and emotions that go with life's ups and downs. I believe that we all have the solutions and strengths inside of us in order to handle the problems that life creates. However, at times, we become stuck.
We only see the problems and can't seem to find the solutions. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with the State of California, I believe that helping you move forward is my responsibility. I am the guide that helps you find the courage and strength inside of you by teaching you the skills needed to get back on the right path. I don't ever tell you the answers - you already have them. We unlock them together. This way you will have those skills and strengths to fall back on in the future. YOU! YES YOU solve the problem and can move on with your life and begin living it to its fullest potential.
I began my career with the desire to help people. I use my life experiences, education, and passion to help the clients I see. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I work with sexual assault victims who have been targets of rape, molestation, or incest.
As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist Candidate I specialize in all types of sex addictions but do NOT work with sex offenders of any kind. I am devoted to the philosophy that 'We exist for the client'. I am here to offer hope and encouragement in a comfortable, caring, and supportive environment. I do not treat all clients the same, but tailor treatment plans to the client and the client's individual needs. My services include counseling individuals, families, couples and groups.
I sincerely look forward to working with you.
