Couples: I am TAKING Couples again. However only on Cash Pay basis. This is how it will work: You can schedule with me an hour consultation, you don't both have to be present, for this Consultation. From there we will meet 5 to 6 times for 1.5 hour sessions. It is very difficult to have Couples sessions within 60 min. The Cash pay is $250.00 for the 1.5 hour sessions. I understand the cost can be a deterrent in seeking help, however if you are both committed to doing the work 5 to 6 sessions should be productive and enough to see changes. Individuals: Of course I am still taking individuals that are or are not in a relationship and need help. We were never taught how to be in a relationship of any kind. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers. Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms. I will work with you individually to help you gain insight to your own behavior that may be influencing your relationship. I am here to help with coping strategies for anxiety and depression symptoms or learning how to communicate more effectively with others.
Your first session I will ask what is your goal to achieve in Therapy, but also obtain a background from you of how you grew up, and what is important to you.
My specialties are Individual Therapy and Couples Therapy, working with you to meet your goal. I am very Solution Focused and will use this along with Mindfulness.
In this section it is asking me to write "who is my ideal Client" well that is difficult to say. Every Client deserves to correct toxic behavior, to reach their goal, to have skills to manage their stress...

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I find that most Clients are stuck in their symptoms such as Anxiety and find it difficult to look at Solutions. I not only will educate you on coping skills but breaking through whatever barrier it is. So, what is your goal? Tell me what you would like to see happen, and we can work together to achieve that. Your goal may change and that’s okay, I’m here to support you.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This is the first line of defense that I use in my practice to assist Clients to gain awareness of their symptoms or negative behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT allows you to be in control. In control of reducing your symptoms, negative thinking and negative behaviors.

She was very open and let me speak freely. She even suggested something that no other therapist had recommended to try. It is basically “a aha” moment.

Was looking to deal with stress and anxiety in my life and was set up through Kaiser.
