LMFT, 32 years of experience
Authentic
Intelligent
Open-minded

I bring many years of life experience to my work as a therapist: Knowing the pain and difficulties of maintaining a relationship, working on a career path that sometimes frustrates us, experiencing the stuck feeling of anxiety or depression, feeling the loss of a loved one, speaking different languages and understanding cross-cultural issues, wanting more out of life without knowing exactly what that is. I worked in a lot of different fields - along with my work as a psychotherapist.

My treatment methods

Eclectic

I use many different approaches to help people work on their issues. It depends on if the client knows what they want, if they are not sure, if they are in physical discomfort or pain and/or if they just want to lessen or transform anxiety or depression. I want to help people find better balance of all their feelings and/or thoughts.
