"I have a relational treatment approach which means that the relationship that develops between you and me is the most important ingredient for success. Because of this approach, you can expect me to be somewhat casual and approachable. I use humor and compassion to create connection. This connection creates a safe place for us to exchange ideas, to talk about experiences and to share honestly with one another. We can talk, draw, write, and imagine to make sense of your emotions and identify a path forward. "

"I welcome your symptoms and struggles as precise messages from a soul that seeks greater care and deeper understanding and expression. I commit to listen compassionately and challenge you persistently, so that you may discover and live out the truest, fullest possible self that you were born to be. I bring over twenty-five years of clinical experience and am privileged to have worked with a wide range of people from various walks of life, diverse perspectives and cultures. I draw from a rich range of theory and technique to better craft a treatment plan responsive to your unique needs and goals. "

" Often times, we need to find A New Approach to how we have been coping with various life situations. The way we have been coping may be uncomfortable or maladaptive and possibly causing more issues than we recognize. I have been licensed with the state of California since 1998 as an LCSW. I am certified in EMDR, Grief Recovery, CBT, and Gerontology. I am available to assist you if you are experiencing grief, stress, depression or anxiety. I also offer hippa compliant Skype sessions. "

"*Currently accepting new clients* My goal is to provide you with a supportive, safe and trusting environment. We will work with your strengths to help problem solve, increase coping skills and overcome stress and challenges you are facing. I am passionate about working in this field and highly committed to each and every client I see. "

"In all of our lives we experience a full range of emotions, from deep sorrow to wondrous joy. Often it is easy to overlook the joys and lose sight of the beauty and harmony around us. When life throws us a "curve ball", we can become overwhelmed and feel as if life is only a struggle. Our thoughts become negative and we then find ourselves out of balance, perhaps anxious or depressed. We do not truly enjoy our relationships, existing without meaning or connection. Therapy provides a safe confidential environment to tell your story, move through grief or pain, and identify life strategies that work!"

"Struggles with school, learning, attention, peers, anxiety, behavior, or family relationships need a "whole person" approach. Perhaps you were told, "He will grow out of it," or maybe others don't even see the difficulties that you do. Individuals seen as "high functioning" can still experience considerable difficulties -- and fall through the cracks. Maybe you have tried to get help through school or agencies -- but problems persist. Many of my clients have not been properly diagnosed or had a fragmented treatment approach. With an initial consultation, we can begin to get you or your family member on the right track."

"Sorry, temporarily not scheduling new therapy clients. Evaluation only at this time. When therapy is available, I work collaboratively with patients encouraging openness and self-acceptance. I believe in providing lots of active support and coaching as you work through painful or challenging circumstances. I will approach your personal challenges and goals in a way that uniquely fits for you at this present time. I can help you move towards significant change and relief with thoughtful planning, steady positive coaching, and encouragement of practical steps."

"Most people experience times in which they are frustrated with how their life is going. Perhaps they are having relationship problems, difficulty with school or work, or they are having feelings and thoughts that are overwhelming. Sometimes people have a good idea why things are like this, sometimes they have no idea why. But what they do know is that it is time for a change. Regardless of where you are at, I am ready to help you achieve the change you desire."

"I believe that each person has a unique self that must be respected, recognized and understood. My practice focuses on helping people understand their specific challenges, and utilizing their particular strengths in order to heal, change, and grow. I utilize a compassionate and empathetic approach that offers customized treatment to the specific needs/goals of each individual or family."

"Even the strongest and most skillful people sometimes lose their way. Past experiences do not always prepare you for the unique challenges that find you. You can feel very competent in one area of your life, and like a failure in another. An unforeseen trauma can overwhelm your ability to cope. Nearly everyone has some time in their life when they can benefit from a supportive other who attempts to see the world from their perspective and help navigate the path ahead. As a therapist, my job is to help my clients draw a road map to their desired life and to trouble shoot how to get around barriers, when they arise. "

"I am interested in helping you find pratical solutions to problems that cause stress, uncertainty and sleepless nights. I use a gentle, sometimes humorous, approach to assit you to come to conclusions that promote change and healing. I have extensive experience with parenting adolecents, couple disagreements and women in the process of change. I believe my training and expirence looks at the whole picture, not just how you think, but also the impact of work, family, neighborhood and church on the issues that cause stress."

"I believe that there is no single treatment that will be perfect for everyone. I prefer to view each of my clients as an individual with individual needs and experiences. My treatment approach is eclectic, while based in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques. While I use CBT as a basic structure, I also include methods from other proven therapeutic approaches. My goal is to provide a targeted, tailored, and most importantly, effective therapeutic experience."

I am accepting new clients and can take many different insurances, call for more information."

"I know you want your child to be happy and successful and are doing your best to help him. You'd like to have less arguing and enjoy your family more. Parenting is such a hard job.
