LMFT, 32 years of experience
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor from California. My Master's degree is from California State University, Fresno. I have worked as a therapist for over 31 years and my career has focused on working with adults who have past trauma, anger management issues, family conflicts, and grief issues. I also have 30 years of experience working with clients who are living with HIV/AIDS. I enjoy helping clients to reach their therapeutic goals and to help improve their relationships.
During our first session, we will go over an intake, focus on building rapport, and discussing any questions about therapy.
I believe my past 31 years of experience has helped me to be more seasoned with many of the issues my clients may be trying to improve. I enjoy getting to know my clients so I can use their strengths as a springboard to work towards a better version of themselves.
I enjoy working with adults who hare struggling with improving relationships or who are trying to develop healthier coping skills to enhance their functioning in life.
This therapeutic approach is based on the idea of having mutually satisfying relationships with others is necessary for one's emotional well-being.
Finding ways to cope with grief in a healthy manner helps to improve relationships and overall functioning.
Using a variety of CBT exercises helps to alleviate the symptoms of trauma in order to improve relationships and overall functioning.

Mary Alice has helped me to see perspectives of my actions and behavior that I was not aware of. She has helped me to understand how altering them can have more positive outcomes.
