About

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and have been in the counseling field for over eight years. I currently work as a Mental Health Clinician for a local government agency. I have also worked in various substance abuse treatment programs as well provided therapy for my local Pride Center. The clients I typically work with present with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, mood problems, trauma-related symptoms, substance use disorders, relationship problems, work related stress and many other presenting issues.

My counseling style is very client centered. I understand that every person is unique and so are the issues for which they may seek therapy. I have extensive training and experience using a Cognitive Behavioral approach but am well versed in may different therapeutic strategies. I like to be more Solution Focused and figure out the best way to directly address whatever issues you may be seeking therapy for.

I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help and just want to say I am proud of you for taking this important first step.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with you.
