Often rebooked
Hi. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 20 years of experience providing mental health services in an outpatient setting. My background includes individual, couples, family, and group sessions. My philosophy is you can't stop the storms of life from coming but you can prepare to face them as the most self-aware, skilled, and empowered version of yourself. I also believe that relationships need more than love to thrive. They need skill, strategy, and relational intelligence. More about me: I am a wife, mother of 5 in a blended family, military veteran, optimistic Dallas Cowboys fan, foodie, and creative writer.

Deon has been my therapist for almost 2 years, and I can honestly say that the growth I have made from day one of speaking to her, I am truly grateful. If you are looking for someone who will always be honest with you. But still be warm, she will not sugar coat anything. I love it even more that she is spiritual.
