I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master’s in Marriage and Family and have practiced in California for over 27 years. My experience includes working with a variety of presenting issues in therapy including Trauma, PTSD, Abuse (Physical/Sexual, Emotional/Mental), Grief, Abandonment, Victims of Crime/War, Anxiety, and Depression. I am experienced in working with multiculturally diverse adults, adolescents, and children and am also bilingual in Spanish and English.

I am experienced in working with multiculturally diverse adults, adolescents, and children and am also bilingual in Spanish and English.

First session

The client will be allowed to describe his/her concerns and reasons for seeking out therapy in their own words.

Strengths

I enjoy working with clients who have either tried traditional therapy in the past, as well as clients who have never been in therapy who want a highly structured and focused treatment to address thoughts, symptoms and behaviors that are causing the client much distress in their lives.

Ideal clients

Traumatized and/or Depressed Adults. Clients with a history of negative experiences in life.

Treatment methods

EMDR

I use EMDR to treat and desensitize any traumatic or painful experience.

Tony was immediately understanding and very open to directly addressing trauma. With supportive statements it was so easy to talk to him, just this first time! I appreciated making a point to have a goal for EMDR therapy that was concise. I feel very validated.
