"I have been in practice for 39 years specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, relationship and family of origin issues. My approach to therapy is an eclectic blend of many modalities and is based upon the belief that most issues for which I see people are about arrested development, or pockets of immaturity. Life is difficult at times, even for people who are functional most of the time - -but when our usual coping or escaping mechanisms are overwhelmed, issues of addiction, self esteem, poor boundaries and lack of moderation create crises in our lives and our closest relationships."

"Realizing you need help and then searching for a therapist that best fits your needs can be an overwhelming experience. I can help you whether you are experiencing sadness or anxiety, struggling with an eating disorder, or having problems in your relationship(s). I create an environment where you can feel safe, understood, and cared about. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and specialized to your needs. I use a combination of theory and practices to help you achieve your goals. In addition to therapy, I perform comprehensive psychological assessments to identify intellectual functioning, attention issues, and learning disabilities."

"We all struggle at times. I imagine you're here because something in your life isn't working; you feel stuck. It takes courage to acknowledge and confront the areas of your life that are keeping you from feeling fulfilled, whether those are issues from your past or in your present. You and I can work together to untangle and tackle the the obstacles holding you back from having the life and relationships you want to have. | Note: some BCBS plans contract mental health out to other insurance companies (e.g. Magellan). I am only in-network with BCBS."

"I love working with people who are willing to look at life from a holistic perspective. This is especially powerful in transforming not only health issues but also relationship issues.

I am an expert in the field of Mind-Body-Spirit counseling with over 25 years experience."

"God never intended for us to face the problems in our lives apart from Him. He desires to be involved in the process of bringing about healthy and holy change in our lives. Jesus said that "Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." I strive to base my counseling approach firmly on Scripture. The Bible is God's perfect, powerful, life transforming and saving word. God has spoken, definitively, regarding all areas of our lives. He, indeed, has the answer for whatever your problem(s) may be."

My greatest joy comes from watching my clients feel free as they become aware and empowered to make positive decisions of self-improvement."

Together we journey through depression, anxiety, trauma, spirituality, identity, grief & loss, life transitions, difficult family dynamics, anger, forgiveness, shame, guilt, and much more. I have learned that pain is deep, but healing goes deeper."

I am very excited to help people through providing hope, healing and restoration through the power of Jesus Christ.

I was then led to pursue counseling and obtained my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University."
