Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned a Masters of Arts in Marriage, Family, Child Counseling and a Masters of Divinity with an emphasis in New Testament Theology from Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary. My Masters work in traumatic stress has led me to specialize in Trauma and PTSD in both adults and children and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with adults, adolescents, children, family and couples. I enjoy working with adolescents and children with behavioral, mood, and anxiety problems. I work with the military, law enforcement, firefighters, and paramedics and their families. My approach is to come along side of you to assist you in developing healthier relationships and coping skills.

What you can expect from our first session

Life at times can be hard, it does not mean we have to face it alone. We are all part of the same ocean and we sail its waters. When the waves come crashing and our boats seem to be sinking. We work together to equip the client in learning how to not only build a better boat, but also to navigate the storms of the ocean of life.
