I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT). I have worked in different settings to include schools, drug treatment, and private practice with all ages from 5 and up and currently, I work with adults and older adults via telehealth in CA. My approach to counseling with you is to be personable, empathetic, and curious. Some of the issues I have specialty/experience with are depression, grief/loss, stress, and life transitions.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I want to get to know and listen with understanding by creating a place where you can share, feel respected and have the possibility to change. Therapy can be difficult at times and I would be there to guide you through the best I can with my professional experience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths are an extension of my experience in the therapy field working with clients for many years to include patience, flexibility and a compassionate style of working.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I often work with adults who are looking for a counselor to work with them when they are not understanding what may be happening or why they keep behaving the same way and may feel stuck. This can cause clients to be overwhelmed with a situation or their emotions. There can be a loss, trauma, or just changes in their life that need attention.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Trained with CBT and I have utilized it with Teens and Adults in different settings. It is a way to look at the present situation(s) and connect the clients thoughts, feelings and behaviors to address mostly negative thinking patterns that inhibit the client and use goal oriented ways to address the patterns to move towards positive change.
Structural Family Therapy
Trained and worked with family systems with families and individuals for some years. Work by gathering information about family relationships to assist improving client communications and boundaries with others in the present.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have experience with Solution Focused Treatment and many of the techniques are used in other therapies to assist clients. This method helps clients to focus on strengths and the positives to start to see other options for the issues they face and for their lives.
