As a therapist, it is my goal to make sure you get the most out of our sessions together. I encourage all my clients to make the treatment plan with me. You are the expert in you and respecting that is essential to meeting your needs. We will identify your own unique strengths in combination with therapeutic skill building to achieve your goals.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples and families live to their greatest potential and wholeness whether they are surviving from past hurts, trauma, depression, anxiety, or just need support. I have a passion to help couples create a deeper and more meaningful connection that will last their lifetime. In addition to being a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am a Professor in MFT at Azusa Pacific University and have a specialty in working with Couples, Sex Therapy and Sex Addicts & Partners.

Making the decision for change and taking the first step in that direction are acts of courage and creation. Whether you are struggling emotionally or you would just like to examine yourself more deeply, I am here to support you on the path. I work across cultures with individuals and couples on challenges ranging from extreme trauma to addiction to life transitions. You do not have to manage these difficulties alone.

I strongly believe, and studies show, that the connection between you and your therapist is one of the most important aspects of being in therapy.

You can do hard things and I'm here to help you.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it's our own beliefs about ourselves or our true potential that's our greatest barrier. Therapy can help uncover the barriers that are in the way and learn skills and techniques for how to work with yourself and collaborate with life so that you feel like you are living as opposed to just surviving.

My passion is working with you to create a well-rounded fulfilling life, and I practice what I preach. I emphasize deep meaningful therapy sessions along with other aspects such as healthy eating, exercise, hobbies, relationships and time in nature. I like to be clear with our goals and how therapy will work and I will guide you each step of the way.

If you are reluctant about therapy, I get it. Not even sure what you’re doing here or where to begin? I can work with that! Stepping into therapy might come with a mix of hesitation and doubt, whether it’s fueled by personal curiosity or a nudge from your partner. Wherever you’re coming from, I embrace it – with an approach that’s both supportive and straightforward. Above all, I’m here to meet you where you are.

If your relationship is in crisis, then getting help right away can make all the difference. Relationship intensives differ from traditional therapy because we meet for 5-6 hours in one day, preferable for two days in a row. This is the equivalent of 3 months of weekly therapy and I can fit you in right away. Whether your problems entail infidelity, constant arguing, living as roommates, or the threat of divorce — by the end of the intensive you will have more clarity, tools you can use right away in your relationship, and a plan for moving forward.

Let's create the relationship that works for you and your partner(s).

I am passionate about working with clients to help them understand their emotional needs for closeness and connection, how unmet needs cause disconnection, and how more helpful ways of relating to one another are possible. My hope for all my clients is that they would experience healing and renewed closeness in their relationships with themselves and others. I believe this begins when you are feeling the safety and freedom to share what is really going on inside.

By promoting a safe space where you can create, and recreate the you that is well.
