About

I am a Solutions Focused Therapist for you: Do you want to work with someone who is direct and Solutions-Oriented? Are you having challenges that rob you of the joy and success you deserve? Are you as happy as you want to be? Is your life working out the way you wanted and expected it to?

We all cope with stressors in different ways. I help people deal with stress more successfully with caring, plus the powerful tools that therapy provides, to achieve results and solutions.

Therapy must be warm and compassionate, but we can also look at life's issues with a little humor and understanding as well.

Therapy isn't only for people with problems, who are depressed or anxious. Your therapy is an important tool to improve your life, happiness, relationships, well being, self awareness and a wide range of other concerns - helping you change responses and habits or establish healthier ones.

Stress makes life difficult - it even kills sometimes. I help people deal with it more successfully and help find better outcomes with results oriented support for stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, addiction, coping, panic attacks, low self-esteem, co-occurring disorders, PTSD, grief/loss - and more.

Many I've helped used substances (food, drugs, alcohol) and become addicted.
Others withdraw or have relationship difficulties, anxiety or depression because their stress feels overwhelming without support.

Too many people have low self-esteem and lack of true support, which can make it difficult to motivate themselves or to sustain the change they want to achieve. Having a clinician available just for you can make the difference for many people who want to be happier.

I'm Solution Focused for you, though I'm skilled in several other therapeutic styles; it is important to adjust the approach to your unique personality and concerns..
I am an experienced, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed to work in California.
Your life does not get better by chance. It gets better by change.

Be kind to yourself. Therapy helps.
