Therapists in California

Hi! I'm glad you are thinking of working with me so let me tell you a bit about myself. I have worked in this field for over 30 years. I received my Master's Degree in Social Work in 1984, and am licensed in California (LCSW) and Arkansas (LCSW). Additionally, I have a Master's Degree in Human Rights. I have worked with people ages six through older adulthood and with individuals, groups, couples, and families. I have worked in private practice and public mental health settings. I bring this wealth of knowledge and wide range of experience and expertise to my individual work with you. My approach is client centered and non judgmental. I will work with you to problem solve, grow, develop new life skills, identify and achieve your goals while helping you to clarify your values, know yourself better, and build upon your current strengths and skills. I am really looking forward to the privilege of working with you!

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California and have been working in counseling for 7 years. I have experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents and in running group therapy, both in an office and on telehealth as well as providing in-home services. I have worked with clients regarding depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, addiction, homelessness, bipolar, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, dementia and phase of life issues. I have a specialization in spiritual and depth psychology and also draw on many other modalities when working with clients. My approach is to make the treatment fit the client, since no one person is alike and no one treatment approach works for all clients. Some of my preferred modalities to use with clients include: mindfulness, narrative therapy, positive psychology, depth psychology and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) informed treatment and solution focused therapy. I aim to create a warm, safe and supportive environment in which clients can be free to explore themselves and heal. I like to think of the therapy experience as a journey we are taking together in which there is no judgement or criticism. It is my belief that we all have the internal capacity to resolve our problems and I hope therapy can provide the space in which people can discover their innate power, new meaning, and unexpected joy. I was born and raised in Southern California, originally from Santa Monica, CA. I received my undergraduate degree in studio art and art history from California State University Channel Islands and my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles, CA. In my free time, I enjoy practicing mindfulness, doing yoga, hiking, reading and doing art. I really look forward to meeting you and working together!
