I consider it a privilege and an honor to work with people who want to find balance in their lives. People come into therapy seeking help for a variety of problems. You may be in severe pain, suffering the effects of trauma, stressful events, ruptured relationships or addiction problems. You may need help to achieve healthy emotional boundaries with friends, loved ones, co-workers. Perhaps you wish to live a more full and satisfying life. While I typically draw from psychodynamic, family systems and relational/humanistic approaches, I am very flexible and tailor my approach to each individual.

I am often asked "How can you listen to people's problems all day long?" This is not at all what I do. I hear them but I am listening to you in your entirety.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist providing services to clients within the State of California. I have over 19 years of experience providing services to adults, children, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings.

I enjoy the model of the scientist/ practitioner and I incorporate my review of the research coupled with "what works." Additionally, I find a sense of humor often is helpful in tackling life's issues.

As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I believe that people's emotions and behaviors are influenced by their perceptions and interpretation of events. I work collaboratively with my clients in a proactive manner in order for them to learn effective strategies that they can use for the rest of their lives. I also believe that we are influenced by the cultural context in which we grow up. All relationships are, to some extent, are contextual and intercultural. People often face new challenges as they go through transitions in their lives. I bring my life experiences and professional knowledge to therapy.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we’ll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. Then, I have many evidence based therapy modalities that I use to move you forward faster. Most of them are the newer modalities such as EMDR, IFS, Ericksonian therapy, EFT, motivational interviewing and NLP. I integrate and combine these therapies to help you move through obstacles that have held you back.

Are you struggling with a relationship and no longer able to communicate with each other? Do family and friends understand your feelings? Whether you are struggling with: depression, anxiety, fear, negative thinking, any type of abuse and/or trauma, self-esteem, communication in relationships, understanding can create positive changes and diminish symptoms. I am here to help understand what lies underneath these issues. As an experienced therapist who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults for 20 years, I work closely with my clients to develop individual goals that focus on: lessening depression, anxiety, and increasing communication in relationships.

I work with motivated adults and adolescents to help them cope with transitions in their lives where they feel stuck and in emotional pain. My clients usually want tools they can use themselves as well as a healing environment. I work collaboratively with clients to cultivate their strengths as well as support them in overcoming inner obstacles. They want a more positive relationship with themselves and others and to move forward in healthy ways behaviorally. They want better boundaries and joy in their lives.

Everyone has an innate ability to enjoy a life balanced with love, work and play. When long-standing issues or unexpected stressors hinder this ability, we need to grow and heal. Family and friends are often supportive, but at times we need someone who listens without letting his/her own needs interfere with our finding the true path to our healing. In psychotherapy, your immediate experience and what is not said, as well as your spoken words are heard. This full listening allows psychotherapists to keep all of your concerns, desires and anxieties in mind.

I combine a unique and specialized form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Choice Theory with a Family Systems approach to treatment. I view maladaptive behavioral patterns as a result of inadequate or dysfunctional life choices. I assist my clients in recognizing these patterns of behavior and encourage them to draw realistic and practical solutions to the things that are hindering growth and happiness through the choices they make in life. I work collaboratively with my clients using a "here and now" problem-solving technique and develop a treatment plan that uses psychotherapy, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.
