It's time to reach your full potential. I offer holistic therapy that focuses on your goals and quick solutions to address current problems as well as changing long entrenched behaviorial patterns. Therapy will assist you in gaining insight from your past, healing traumas at the root and making long term changes for the future. I believe in client centered/relational therapy in a supportive environment. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am also a trained and certified Hypnotherapist by The National Guild of Hypnotists. I work from several therapeutic modalities depending on the individual.
I utilize various experiential therapies to help the process be as efficient as possible, while making sure you are set up for long term success. We can do walking/movement sessions, hypnosis and talk therapy. My passion is working with adults and families to address a range of emotional issues, compulsions and disruptive patterns.
I am willing to accommodate busy schedules with daytime, evening and weekend appointments. I offer in person and tele-health sessions. I utilize hypnotherapy for smoking cessation, weight loss, phobias, feelings of anxiety, low self esteem, trauma and other issues that arise in therapy. I look forward to assisting you in reaching your full potential.
