Hello. I have been a licensed MFT for over 20 years. I enjoy helping my clients reach their own goals by offering support, evidence based strategies and tools and even a little bit of humor. I work creatively and flexibly to meet the needs of my clients. My experience includes multiple populations such as teens, domestic violence victims and perpetrators, the elderly and substance use. I have also worked in various environments such as non-profits, the County of Ventura, school based work and private practice.

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

I take a client centered approach- looking at where the client is currently at, what their goals are and their readiness for change. I talk with each client about what therapy is, how I work as a therapist, what I can offer them and even what I can't. I help clients to understand how therapy is like going to the gym- the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it!

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

My strengths as a therapist include having compassion and tolerance for others, my desire to help people, the creativity and humor I use with clients and my length of experience as a licensed clinician.
