Family Therapy in Phillips Ranch, CA

My counseling style is open and collaborative. I am here to service children and adults struggling in the areas of anxiety, PTSD, depression, relationships, parenting, ADHD, and children with behavior problems. Sometimes life throws us unwanted curves that is out of our control and we feel alone; I want you to know you are not alone and help is here. You can restore your life to its normal functioning and achieve the goals that you set for yourself. If I am unable to assist you, I will make it my mission by referring you to someone that can.

I want to work with people who are willing to try something new, to try something different, to take risks, to be vulnerable, to explore, and to discover. I am deeply committed both to the family and individual. I want to extend myself to those finding themselves ready to push through conflicts by collaborating with me on the process of being honest and comfortable in our skin. In terms of facing life's adventures, if you feel that I am talking to you please feel free to contact me to set up an initial consultation.
