Personal Statement
As a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in couples therapy in San Diego, CA, as well as divorce therapy, I am expert in helping marriages and individuals to thrive, not merely survive! By understanding yesterday, people can be empowered to gain more fulfillment in the present and realize dreams into the future.
It is a an act of courage to embark upon a journey in relationship counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, or individual counseling. If your answer is "yes" to many of the following questions, you may want to consider relationship counseling as a way to repair or even strengthen your relationship.
It is my presence, my own Exodus, my story that reflects resilience, insight, and a playfulness about what it means to be human. My appreciation for the struggle within my own challenges and extensive life experience level the playing field with my clients. My model of therapy is very respectful of the human condition, never pathologizes or sits in judgment, and reflects an abiding passion for supporting clients' innate ability to come back from adversity and rise up singing.
