I love to work with families, youth, and parents who might be needing a new set of eyes on their situation. I can be a non-judgmental outside party to provide a professional observation of the problems and conflicts you may be having in your family system. Next, I will provide positive and healthy ideas to help improve and strengthen your relationships. I have worked with a variety of teen mental health challenges from self harm and suicidal thoughts, to perfectionism and social anxiety. I am available for individual, family and couples therapy.
I have worked with youth and families since 1992 and have a variety of work experiences from being a recreational therapist, couples therapist, family therapist and most often a therapist for youth. I have experience working with family problems as well as individual problems and link these problems back to systems and attachment issues.
It is hard to ask for help, and sometimes we think we have everything under control, but when the family starts to struggle, each person is suffering in their own ways. Are you aware of the patterns that occur daily that create conflict, avoidance, misunderstanding, or disconnection?

I started off with a Recreational Therapy degree from Fresno State in 1992, worked in psychiatric hospitals for many years. I later obtained my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy as I often witnessed the youth doing therapy without the family and I feel strongly that all people need to attend.

We will first get a full history of the presenting problem, family history, substance use, medical history, and relationship patterns. We will then identify a goal that is relevant and realistic that can be measured by progress and time. I will teach new ideas and concepts to contemplate and new skills to try. There will be work between session and a review of progress at each session.

I like a variety of treatment types, depending on the individual and the presenting problem. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. For couples and families is use Strategic Family Therapy. I also use Brief Behavioral Therapy if there is a sudden onset of a problem. I teach Positive Parenting tips.
