As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I offer clients over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families. I specialize in providing a holistic environment that is collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based for clients. Whether you are seeking tools to help you face current challenges or looking to improve your mental health, I am here to support you.
As a therapist, I recognize that at times you may feel overwhelmed, scared, stressed, and alone. I will focus on utilizing your strengths to help you build skills toward a more enriching life, such as creating healthy boundaries, learning assertiveness, developing habits in self-care, and improving communication skills. By utilizing your inner strengths, we can cultivate healing, experience growth, and celebrate your personal transformation.
I have a unique professional history that allows me the privilege of working with a diverse population of clients. In addition to over 20 years of professional experience in clinical work, I also have more than 10 years of experience in school-based therapeutic work with K-12 students. I am also qualified as a behavioral specialist to work with children who have unique learning, cognitive, and emotional needs. Within the corporate workplace, I operate as a certified organizational change management specialist. I conduct numerous training courses for thousands of employees throughout California. My webinars focus on the importance of work-life balance, emotional intelligence, OCM practices, and addressing difficult workplace challenges. Additionally, I am a proud military spouse and mother of children who currently serve in the U.S. military. It is an honor and privilege to provide therapeutic support to our military personnel, spouses, families, veterans and first-responders.
Each client I work with is uniquely created, gifted, and special. And, every client holds inner strengths that can be utilized in therapy to facilitate positive change! In my therapeutic work, I often work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, family/relational conflict, grief, trauma, co-occurring disorders, and addiction disorders. I often work with diverse populations of clients who vary in age, population, ethnicity, cultural identity, gender, sexual preference, social status, economic background, and more.
In my clinical work, I often work with clients who have undergone significant trauma in their lives. Rest assured, we will work collaboratively to identify the source of trauma, its impact on your daily life, and identify strategies to address your presenting symptoms.
I believe that every person possesses an internal source of insight and wisdom that can be cultivated through the therapeutic journey. I applaud you on taking the first step towards growth, healing, and recovery. Let's work together to identify solutions which provide healing, growth, and restoration.
