I am a therapist licensed in California with more than 17 years of experiences in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, addictions, parenting problems, career challenges, sexual issues, and daily stressors. I have also worked with individuals who have dual/diagnosis and diagnosis and people who have experienced trauma and abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, yet also direct and honest. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion and understanding and do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client centered psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the steps towards change.
If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
