Great to meet you!

I am an experienced LMFT and addiction counselor for over 20 years. I am a tenured professor at a local college. I also work with individuals and families in a local Substance Use Disorder/Mental Health treatment center. I am a product of UCLA for my undergraduate degree and my Masters of Science was earned at CSULA. I am one class away from completion of my Doctorate in Psychology.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I have expertise and I believe in a motivational interviewing , solution focused, dialectical and cognitive behavioral approach to therapy with the belief that individuals have most of the answers dormant within. I just promote insight and awareness so you can gain access to your real self.

What you can expect from our first session

I want my clients to experience freedom from their own cognitive distortions and maladaptive thoughts and behaviors and to find acceptance with themselves and the world around them. How free do you want to be?
