Hi! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Southern California. I received my masters degree from Cal St Northridge and have been working with individuals (adults and children), couples and families for the past 30 years and have been working as a professional therapist for nearly 20 years. My passion has been for most of my life to help those with hurts, habits and hang ups. My practice is named Journey Counseling and the name implies life is a journey and I want to help with all the bumps, curves, road blocks life throws at us as we drive down the road of life.
In our first session together, we will start with a brief introduction, and create a comfortable environment for you to be able to share your story, issues and begin the process of identifying the goals and areas to work on together. This will allow me to be able to create a tailored plan to start the process of working on the underlying issues as well as the practical steps and coping skills to live a healthier life
Having worked with people for the past 30 years, I have the skills, experience and knowledge to navigate many of life's issues, and many clients state that they feel they can come in and talk about whatever they want to talk about which allows them to be open, honest and feel confident they will work through their issues, challenges and trials life brings their way.
My passion and life has been working with all ages, diversities, backgrounds, and cultures to help navigate the issues in their life. Whether it is anxiety/depression, trauma, adjustments in life, going through a transition, break up/divorce or whatever curve ball life throws at you, my clients feel when attending their sessions, a safe, non-judgmental, professional and comfortable environment to be able to open up and navigate the issues they wanting to work on and work through.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Often, people lack the help, tool or support systems that help them deal with personal problems and other issues. Whether you are looking for Individual counseling for adults, children, couples, family- we seek to assist the client with their current and anticipated problems. We strive to provide a supportive and safe environment that allows the individual/couple to work through issues such as past traumas and difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief, career counseling, and more.
