I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California with over 20 years of experience working with a client base ranging from children to the elderly. I have worked with clients trying to understand their emotions causing various symptoms. Key areas that my work focuses on are significant life changes, relationship troubles, problematic family dynamics causing distress, and self esteem issues. I am also a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist.

I work from a strength based approach with a focus on being solution focused. I strive to uncover triggers in your environment that impact daily functioning. Looking at your history and dynamics in your family of origin will also be a focal point of treatment.
