Introduction

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California with over 2 decades of human services experience. I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of others. My work is integrative with strength based, evidence based and trauma informed care while forming a collaborative relationship. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are struggling with anxiety, life transitions and trauma. To help you to explore all parts of yourself, I bring acceptance, curiosity and non-judgement into each session. I am opened to how people approach their faith according to their personal beliefs. My formal education includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. I am trained in emWave HRV Biofeedback, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Gottman (Level 1). Certified in PREPARE / ENRICH for pre-martial and marriage counseling and Anger Management Essentials. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I spent over 25 years in corporate America. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, traveling and sightseeing and alone time to rejuvenate.
