I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 15 years of experience working as a clinician in the mental health field. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome obstacles so they may live their best life. I work with a wide range of clients who express concerns in the areas including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, sleep disturbance, and stress management. I also have extensive experience working with the military population and individuals who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm yet engaging and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and am often complimented on my non-judgmental demeanor. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychoanalytic, and solution-focused therapy techniques. However, I will collaborate with you to customize our dialog and treatment plan to best fit your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to listen, support, and empower you to reach a better place. I look forward to working with you!
