About me

Hi. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 20 years of experience providing mental health services in an outpatient setting. My background includes individual, couples, family, and group sessions. My philosophy is you can't stop the storms of life from coming but you can prepare to face them as the most self-aware, skilled, and empowered version of yourself. I also believe that relationships need more than love to thrive. They need skill, strategy, and relational intelligence. More about me: I am a wife, mother of 5 in a blended family, military veteran, optimistic Dallas Cowboys fan, foodie, and creative writer.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients have expressed an appreciation for my ability to provide a non-judgment environment, ask thought-provoking questions that lead to increased self-awareness, and provide language needed to make sense of experiences. My background has included working with clients dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, infidelity, work related stress, grief, anger issues, and narcissistic personality disorders.

Deon has been my therapist for almost 2 years, and I can honestly say that the growth I have made from day one of speaking to her, I am truly grateful. If you are looking for someone who will always be honest with you. But still be warm, she will not sugar coat anything. I love it even more that she is spiritual.
