Great to meet you!

I am a native Southern Californian who has been interested in psychology since I took a course in high school. I have a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology.

I have 35 years experience in behavioral healthcare, mostly in private in-patient psychiatric hospitals with a medical model approach also in outpatient settings as well. I use person-centered and solution focused modalities to help clients improve their current circumstances and reach their full potential through self actualization.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My style of therapy is working in partnership with the client collaboratively to develop coping skills including short term and long term treatment goals to address the issues in a solution focussed and supportive manner to improve the quality of life. Evidence Based modalities are utilized for maximum efficacy of treatment.

My specialties are addictions, pathological gambling, depression, anxiety, anger management, couples, self esteem & LGBTQIA+. I work with adolescents, adults and elderly.

What you can expect from our first session

The focus of each session addresses the most important issues affecting the client in a non judgement and supportive manner. Focus is on the present and necessary coping skills to utilize to use moving forward in order to make progress and improvements as quickly as possible. Practical coping skills will be discussed as well as a homework assignment to help reach the treatment goals in a timely fashion.
