Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in sunny southern California, with my partner, of many years, John, and our three cats, three dogs, and tortoise, who by the way, is currently hibernating...and don't we all wish we could do that at times? I have many years of experience working with individuals, with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship challenges. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings and with many ethnic populations. My style is down-to-earth, relatable, sometimes direct, and always with a touch of humor. I love what I do and consider it an honor to help you resolve whatever it might be that is holding you back. I look forward to working with you! By the way, a former client recently said: "I am so grateful to have worked with you, you are truly gifted, and I have learned so much!"

Hi! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with over 22 years of joy and experience working with clients in their difficult times. I like to treat the person as a whole and not just symptoms and negative behaviors as it is easy to skip over the positives that makes the person wonderful and unique. My role in working with you is to reconnect you to your inner self and uncover what truly matters to you at your pace with your priorities always in mind.

As a therapist, I attempt to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without shame, blame, guilt or judgment. I believe it's important to listen to your story, your questions, and help you as you set and reach your goals. I'll help you through teaching you about the patterns may be keeping you stuck, then applying the best approach to help you with practical tools, developing healthy and effective coping skills, challenging negative patterns, and fostering self-compassion. Ultimately, I want to help you make the positive changes you want, achieve personal and relational growth, and become your own best support and friend.
