I am licensed in California with 14 years of professional work experience in psychotherapy. I also have an additional 17 years of experience in the mental health field. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage.
I have 15+ years of providing psychotherapy and counseling services to a very diverse clientele. I'm experienced in providing services to adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and relationship issues.
My clients find that I communicate in a supportive, empathetic manner. Instead of just giving advice, I engage in dialogue with my clients in a way that helps them to feel empowered about making their own decisions. Nonetheless, clients have described my communication style as direct, but always respectful, non-judgmental, and supportive.
