About
I am a licensed MFT with a second Master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. My orientation is primarily Psychodynamic, i.e., I facilitate a collaborative relationship with clients in order to identify significant issues and how to move forward. I believe that everyone wants to live their best life and my job is to help individuals function at an optimal level.
I have worked with Veterans, substance abuse, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and trauma. I have been working in the field for 20 years and I have been a Clinical Director for several programs. I have also worked with the criminal justice population, and have managed programs in two county jails. I also specialize in family therapy and couples, and also LBGTQ clients.
