I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma, grief, neglect and/or loneliness. Trauma can include a variety of things including physical, emotional, sexual or any other type of abuse, such as being raped or attacked; witnessing or experiencing something terrible such as a car accident or the trauma of combat deployment; the death of a loved one; or many other difficult life experiences including domestic violence. I provide affirming care to members of the LGBTQ+ community, including those questioning their sexuality and/or gender identity.
I have significant experience with those who have had a parent pass away, as well as work with active duty military, veterans and victims of military sexual trauma (MST), many of whom have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I have worked with Child Protection Agencies (CPS) and those involved in the justice system.
I work with individuals and families from a variety of cultural backgrounds. I have experience treating anger management and addiction to substances including drugs and alcohol, and behaviors such as gambling. I am licensed in California as a Marriage and Family Therapist and hold a Doctorate Degree in Psychology.
