~Please note: I do not do legal advocacy of any type. ~I generally have availability during work day hours at this time. ~Our first session includes a screening process. I'll need your willingness to provide basic identifying information including an address with which to send basic therapy forms (Consent to Treatment). I'm licensed in California with over 20 years of professional work experience. I'm honored to have supported countless clients (youth and adults, families and individuals) to better manage their stress and anxiety; to navigate the loneliness that often accompanies depression; to express and process grief and loss, abuse and related traumas, and various other challenges. We'll work as a team. You won't get trendy clinical jargon from me. I'm not up-to-speed on all of the current terms, nor do I find this necessary for true healing. I enjoy genuine, honest relationships focused on my clients' paths; you are the expert on yourself. I see myself as a mentor-coach-guiding force and objective professional. You'll also receive caring nudges from me, as needed, to enhance your sense of self-worth and improved mental wellness. Aiding my clients towards increased self-love and compassion is my ultimate goal. It takes courage to embark on this process to achieve the positive changes that you deserve. I hope to empower you on this journey.

As a licensed LMFT California clinician and researcher for over 35 years, I hold a Doctorate in Psychology and advanced degrees in art, as well as teaching certificates for public, private, and Montessori schools. I have presented anti-bullying presentations at numerous elementary schools, both in New Jersey and California where I empowered individuals to alter their uncomfortable world. Although my therapeutic orientation is eclectic, I have been extensively trained in solution focused, cognitive behavioral brief therapy which is highly strategic, exploratory, and solution based rather than problem oriented. Together we will develop an individual treatment plan and you will leave the very first session with concrete strategies that will foster hope and improve the quality of your life. My primary theoretical focus is based on Murray Bowen and Carl centered family systems. These systems have proved over and over again to be effective, not only with families, but successfully treat all realms of individual and relationship issues to address such areas as depression, abuse, anger management, loss and grief, parenting issues, bullying, and many other challenging life transitions, to help facilitate positive growth and maturity. I prefer video or regular calls in lieu of texts between sessions. However, if you do decide to text me, I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. As you read and consider my profile, I would like to thank you for the courage it takes if you agree to begin your therapeutic journey with me.
