"I utilize a variety of approaches to address and resolve isues. An approach must fit the individual as well as the problem. I work with adolescents, adults and families. I am certified in Cognitive/Behavioral therapy, short term therapy, as well as numerous other modalities.

Various techniques are addressed to help people strengthen relationships through words."

"I obtained my doctorate degree (Psy.D) from California School of Professional Psychology. Over the years I have served both the young and the aged, individuals with developmental disabilities, men, women and people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. My therapeutic orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Psychology.

I focus on the "here and now" and symptom removal."
