I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, #135129. I received a Master of Art in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, where I specialized in Psychology of Trauma. I support individuals, couples, families and group therapy in processing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to, HIV, substance use disorder and various patterns of addiction, intimate partner issues, trauma, both current and past involving families and work environments, depression, self-esteem, anxiety and relationship difficulties.

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

Your first session will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and I to get to know each other, and get an idea of how to proceed. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature. For example, in your second session, we'll begin to explore a specific symptom, problem, or past trauma you mentioned in the first session.

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

"When an object breaks, it doesn’t mean that it is no longer useful. Its breakage can become valuable. We should try to repair things because in doing so we obtain new insight and create more valuable objects." This is the essence of resilience. ​"Each of us should look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive growth, learn from negative experiences, take the best from them and convince ourselves that exactly these experiences make each person unique, and precious."
