I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my master's from National University in California and have been in practice for 27 years. I specialize in several mental health issues. I'm additionally trained in women's issues such as menopause, empty nest, pre-menopause, post-menopause life transitions and grief. I'm also experienced in anxiety, depression, self-worth issues as well as trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will get to know each other and hopefully make you feel comfortable talking to me. We will look at what your goals might be in counseling and work on a plan together. This plan will be suited to your needs and be the focus of your follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having been in this field of practice for 27 years has prepared me for almost any subject of therapeutic communication. Making my client feel comfortable enough to talk to me and seek support is the most important part of my career.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with older adults who are wanting to live their "golden" and best lives to the fullest. I love hearing the stories of those who have had challenges throughout their lives and want to move forward from the problem into the solution; thus begin a new journey. I help unlock the trials and wisdom of someone who has made it through those challenges. I'm honored to help create ways in which to assist individuals remap their journeys and share with you what might be your next decision regarding your comfort and ultimately happiness.
