Ready for something different? Feeling stuck with a problem that you can't seem to overcome? It might be time to get some help but it's hard to share your private life with a stranger. I can provide a warm and safe place to begin the hard work of feeling better. I work with you as an equal to help you understand and begin to change some of your toughest problems. You don't have to stay "stuck" this way. The beginning of something new might seem scary but the results of freedom are well worth the work!

We were all children once, and I believe the experiences of our childhoods have a lasting impact on the adults we become. Maybe you are the child of a parent who tried their best but did not have the resources to help you cope with challenging emotions. Maybe you are a parent trying to do things differently from your own upbringing. Maybe you are a part of a larger cycle of intergenerational or systemic trauma and are feeling the lasting impact of that pain. I am passionate about supporting my clients in recognizing unhelpful cycles to navigate new paths toward a healthier, happier life through exploration and healing.

People come to the crossroads of seeking mental health treatment for many different reasons and with many different paths. I would like to meet you on that path and help guide you to the place you want to get to in your life. I have over 30 years experience in counseling and therapy with 20 years working in addictions, dual diagnosis, inpatient mental health with persistent mental illness and outpatient with individuals and couples for both the Veterans Administration and as adjunct faculty at Loma Linda University Department of Psychiatry. I also do psychological assessment for diagnosis clarification and treatment planning.

I believe that the function of therapy is to empower the individual to work though issues and develop their own solutions. I focus on what the client thinks, feels, and does and how the client can change their behaviors, thoughts and feelings and create a better reality. I am skilled, direct, honest and caring. I have extensive experience with a variety of disorders. I have the ability to establish rapport with clients from different backgrounds, to elucidate issues, and to develop workable solutions. I emphasize self-monitoring, homework, and the client's responsibility for creating change.

I’m glad that you’ve made the decision to seek support in addressing the challenges you're facing. Working with a therapist who accepts and understands you provides valuable new perspective and awareness. From a safe and caring space, we will find new ways for you to view, interact with, and respond to the blocks that appear to be preventing you from living your preferred life.

Are you asking yourself, 'Should I stay or should I go?' You never thought you'd be where you are today, wondering if your relationship will survive. You once loved your partner, but now you're not so sure. Every now and then, the two of you feel connected but, then, something happens ... and a wave of disappointment knocks to you the ground. You may even suspect infidelity. What if your marriage never improves? Are you afraid of never having a satisfying relationship? Confusion and disbelief are normal when problems in a relationship become too big to handle.

Specializing in addiction, codependency, and women's issues. My approach to the therapeutic process is one that stresses creating a safe, trusting, respectful relationship with my clients. I recognize that different people respond to different interventions and I am comfortable with an eclectic approach to foster change. I am naturally someone who enjoys people and engaging them in examining what they value and want for their life. Life is a series of choices. Insight is vital but lasting change happens when we do something different that is effective in building our self and a new perspective on life's possibilities.â;

In the last psychotherapy session I had with a client who suffered from an eating disorder that I had worked with for three years I asked her why she chose me. She had interviewed seven other psychotherapists before making a decision. "It was George," she replied. George is my black lab mix with winsome eyes and a loving spirit. Her answer surprised me. But what it illustrates is the complexity of therapy and the mystery of what sustains the healing process. Sometimes healing comes from the renewal of a bond with a relative, or an empathetic moment with a friend, or the love of the therapist's dog.

I work with ARC Counseling and Wellness as a Psychological Associate. I enjoy bringing out the inner strength in people. Life happens and sometimes it dims our joy and makes us forget how strong we can be. Using various approaches, I assist people with finding hope and getting that strength back to overcome any challenges that may come their way and to have a higher quality of life. I treat each person individually as there is no one size fits all approach, everyone will have different needs. My background has been in reproductive and newborn health, before I expanded into mental health.

Do you have a child who is acting out or a teenager struggling to feel motivated? Are you feeling overwhelmed by challenging emotions and life stressors? If you are at loss for ways to help yourself or your family overcome such barriers, then speaking with a therapist can provide you with the support you need to make desired improvements. I know it can be scary to ask for help, so my primary goal is to meet you where you are to assist with developing tangible life goals and reach successful outcomes. This allows for the establishment of healthy thinking, healthy feeling, and healthy behaving.
