I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed to practice in California. I have worked in the mental health field for the past 20 years. I am privileged to be able to help individuals' in managing life transitions the ebb and developing and implementing goals. My areas of expertise include substance abuse, managing mood disorders, life stage transitions and grief and loss.

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

In our first session introductions will be made, limits to confidentiality reviewed and we will begin the assessment process. Together we will identify problem areas and identify treatment goals.

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

I am a strength-based therapist always seeking to balance perceived deficits with positive attributes. I encouraged those I work with to take risks and to learn and practice acceptance.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I apply skills learned to assist individuals in identifying thought distortions and patterns that create negative, self-defeating and anxiety producing thoughts. Skills are taught to address and counter unproductive thoughts and behaviors.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I have training in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I incorporate breathing, body scans and grounding techniques into treatment with the goal of learning to experience the present more fully versus ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. I find this modality useful in treating depression, anxiety and trauma.

Motivational Interviewing

I have been trained in Motivational Interviewing and have used MI techniques when working with substance use disorders.
