I am a private practitioner. My practice includes children and adults. I have worked extensively in the areas of substance abuse and addictions treatment, trauma and recovery, family reunification and treatment of pervasive developmental disorders. I have specific training in Child Attachment issues, (TF-CBT) trauma treatment. I complete TX CANS 2.0 for foster children in Texas. I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2003. I am licensed in CA and TX.
I focus on client centered approaches and psychoanalytic that are eclectic. A combination of solution oriented Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Object Relations... with an emphasis on attachment theories, are used. I am interactive and engaged in sessions. My style is that of curiosity and interest. I believe people have the solutions for their own problems but come to therapy to have non-judgmental assistance in finding or creating a more fulfilling life.
I believe that insight into our patterns and habits can be very powerful. How we think about ourselves and how we get along with others strongly shape our lives. I hope, in every session, to assist clients in growing through knowledge.
