Great to meet you!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Hypnotherapist in California with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & depression. I have experience working with clients with serious mental illness in both inpatient and outpatient settings. In addition, I've worked with a variety of clients coping with life changes situational adjustments. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process!

My approach to therapy

I believe each person has a unique situation that deserves respect and understanding. I feel it's important to learn who you are in order to appreciate your concerns and to find the best approach to help resolve whatever problem you are dealing with.

What you can expect from me

You will be heard and understood. I will validate your concerns and offer you options to take on the challenge your are facing. I will provide homework, which most of the "work" in therapy takes place, and help you clarify the barriers to change that are keeping you from progressing.
