I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor. I have 25 years of experience in the mental health profession. I work with children (ages 7 and up), adolescents, adults, and older adults on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger management, substance abuse, parenting, domestic violence, and other relationship issues. I also have extensive experience working with clients with serious mental illness, such as Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorders, Schizophrenia, and Schizoaffective Disorders.
I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, and I am able to adapt to individual client needs. I work with culturally and ethnically diverse populations. I help my clients to develop healthy skills to cope with life stressors.
