About

I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with over 7 years of experience. Whom do I serve? Clients who see me typically are those experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I’ve also worked with clients to help establish (or re-establish) healthy communication in relationships. In my practice, I have often worked with individual adults, but I have also helped a number of adolescents and couples, as well as mediated difficult conversations between family members and in primary romantic relationships.

How do I work with you? After we’ve built some trust, I might sit with you as you process deep emotions, staying where you are and offering some reflections. At other times, I will listen and offer insights, observations, and suggestions. No matter what alliance we create together (deep listener, mentor, coach, etc.), I will treat you with the utmost respect, move at the pace you need me to move, and stay behind you as you build confidence to make the changes you want.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, Jungian, and Gestalt approaches. However, these approaches are ultimately ways to look at the challenges a client is facing more than a prescriptive set of interventions. As we work together, I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I look forward to working with you!
