Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 23 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families throughout California. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, existential, systems and attachment-based approaches, I help clients reclaim their lives and find their joy. I've had extensive post-graduate training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression as well as family and couples issues. My specialties include Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session together, we'll start by talking about the issues bringing you into therapy, your developmental history, current life circumstances and past experiences in therapy, if any. We'll talk in detail about your goals for therapy and I'll propose an initial treatment approach. Once we've established your goals and treatment, we'll put them into a formal treatment plan which will guide our work together. We'll update the treatment plan regularly and make any necessary adjustments. We can update the treatment approach anytime as well.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My practice is built upon compassion and a wealth of experience spanning 23 years, during which I've worked with a diverse population of clients. These strengths enable me to provide sensitive, empathic and effective care to all, fostering growth, healing, and positive change.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am dedicated to helping individuals of all backgrounds who are determined to break free from the constraints of their symptoms. I have a strong commitment to serving LGBTQIA2S+ clients, providing a safe and inclusive space for their unique needs and experiences.
