About

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with 10 years experience in total with couples therapy, addiction and co-morbidity issues, anxiety and depression issues, parenting, motivational struggles and stages of life changes. I graduated from California State University, Fresno in 2005 with a bachelor’s in psychology and completed my masters in University of Phoenix in 2009. After completing my degree from University of Phoenix I immediately began working in local drug treatment facilities in both detox and medication assisted treatment. Through that experience I grew my expertise to include addiction issues, co-morbidity issues and understand daily struggles with mental health issues along with addiction and how the combined concerns affected not only individuals but also the family as a whole. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and exploring struggles that interfere with changes desired in life. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek clarity and a more fulfilling and happier life. Placing self and growth first is important and the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
