I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 20 years of professional work experience. I received my Masters from California State University, Northridge. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial sessions, we will build a safe place to discuss troublesome issues together and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength is my knowledge in various areas of support. I have had the pleasure of not only understanding how to help clients individually and with their relationships. I am also skilled in understanding developmental behaviors in children and how this will manifest in our lives as adults. I also work with families with a loved one who may have special needs and understand the family dynamics and adjustments needed.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am eager to support clients who are ready to make a positive difference in their lives. I will help clients understand their struggles and create healthier relationships with all of their loved ones.

My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

I have over 20 years of experience with using Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism, often resulting from early experiences of abuse or neglect. I help clients cultivate self-compassion and other-oriented compassion, which are thought to help regulate mood and lead to feelings of safety, self-acceptance, and comfort.

Couples Counseling

I enjoy working with couples of all types to recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. I will provide positive communication and thoughtful homework assignments so that you and your partner can learn to make more thoughtful choices and decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or coming to the decision to end your relationship.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

I specialized in being and using culturally sensitive therapy, which is understanding the client's background and belief system as it relates to their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other vital elements that make up someone's culture and identity. I provide cultural sensitivity to your work to accommodate and respect differences in the opinions, values, and attitudes of various cultures and different types of people and to provide the most effective treatment.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have 20 years of experience in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), a strength-based approach to psychotherapy based on solution-building rather than problem-solving. I like using this form of therapy with clients who want to concentrate on how their current circumstances and future hopes impact their daily lives.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My specialty is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. I have used this treatment modality with people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. That helps address numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many other mental health and behavioral conditions.
