You don’t have to struggle alone! I look forward to the opportunity to work collaboratively with you in your journey in discovering how to make positive changes, decrease negative behaviors and thoughts, and help improve your mood and engagement with life! In our hectic world we often find ourselves afraid to take risks that could jeopardize the stable lives we have created for ourselves. We remain in jobs, relationships and old patterns that no longer work, while symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger and self-defeating patterns keep us from making real changes to our lives. If that sounds like you, you are stuck. We can feel lost and alone when we are unable to move forward, whether in work or a personal relationship. Therapy can help you break free of that and thrive. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a focus on teens, adults, and couples. I have worked with clients on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and family reunification. I received my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I also minored in sociology.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I work from an individual and family systems perspective. I am a Gottman Level 2 trained therapist. I utilize techniques from a variety of theoretical orientations but most of my work throughout the years has been in cognitive behavior therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I offer a calming presence, compassion, and a belief that you can achieve your goals.
