I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and have graduated with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I earned my undergraduate degree in Dietetics from California State University of Long Beach. I take a comprehensive approach to therapy (body, mind, & spirit) looking at the entire person, relationships, and the environment they live in. I know how difficult life's challenges can be, having gone through several of them myself. Individuals can feel helpless over their problems and suffer with intense emotional pain. I like to teach an attitude of hope and personal responsibility for healing.

I prefer to take a practical approach to my work and after an initial consultation, I gather a thorough history. I involve patients in the development of a treatment plan in which together, we identify the issues to be addressed, therapeutic goals, and strategies that might be helpful. The therapeutic process can then begin and function within this framework. As a collaborative effort, I find therapy is most successful when the therapist and patient participate equally. My style is to be very interactive and involved, unlike the image that most people have of psychotherapists who simply sit back and listen.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN AND NON-JUDGING ENVIRONMENT SO YOU CAN EXPRESS YOURSELF FREELY. Therapy needs to be customized to fit your needs. It may be phone counseling, group, individual or couples. You may be experiencing anxiety, infidelity, depression, sexual abuse, relationship issues or some other manifestation that's affecting your life. I believe we get better with people and become worse in isolation, so let's work together to bring you a better tomorrow. My substantial experience, non-judging stance and directness allows the process to work.

I specialize in working with first responders, law enforcement, and federal employees and provide individual and family treatment. I am an informed, experienced therapist in active-duty military and veteran cultures. I work best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their treatment and are receptive to interventions that require work both in and outside of the therapy room. I see myself more as a skilled "coach" who will assist you in developing the skills necessary to be your own therapist. You will find that I bring myself into the room and that I use creativity and humor to tackle your treatment goals.

Many people have experienced trauma in some form during their life. At times this trauma is a single obvious event, but at other times it is a chronic compilation of small events that led to feeling unsafe or unlovable. Along with trauma can come a host of secondary mental health and physical symptoms such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain, headaches, and many more. In successfully treating past trauma, I find that clients are able to live happier and healthier lives free of the constant triggers and emotional baggage they experience on a daily basis.
