Great to meet you!

With 25+ years in mental health, counseling, and conflict resolution, I am a dedicated therapist, mediator, and consultant. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and received advanced mediation training from UCLA.

My expertise spans therapy, conflict resolution, and program management.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is solution-focused and strength-based. I believe that every person has the inherent capacity to overcome challenges and achieve their goals, and I work collaboratively with clients to tap into their strengths, develop practical solutions, and build resilience. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges and discover strategies to move forward in their lives.

Whether you are seeking therapy to navigate life’s challenges or need expert guidance in resolving conflict within your relationships or organization, I am here to support you.
