I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of experience in private practice. My expertise is anxiety disorders, stress management, depression, and multi-cultural issues. I conduct therapy in Spanish, Farsi and French, aside from English. In therapy I combine Cognitive Therapy with Spiritual perspective along with Stress Management and mindfulness techniques to help individuals attain their full potential. My unique and comprehensive orientation combining Eastern Spiritual Wisdom with Traditional Psychotherapy speeds up the therapeutic process and helps clients to create changes at a much deeper level.
We each have our answers within us. However, at times, life experiences can be so devastating that we may develop reactive and defensive patterns of coping. I believe in the unlimited potential of the human spirit and strive to help individuals break away from destructive patterns and follow their inner Wisdom so they are able to live fully and purposefully.
My education, training and special background allow me to work effectively with individuals and couple's issues, family and parenting problems, premarital counseling, cross cultural counseling, mood, & stress related disorders, abuse issues, anger management, domestic violence, self esteem issues, life transitions, growth and core identity issues "(psycho-spiritual development) & Neurofeedback technology to optimize brain function.
