Great to meet you!
Thanks for taking a look at my profile! I'm a LMFT in California. I have been practicing for 31 years. I have worked with just about every mental health diagnosis and a very diverse population of clients.

Thanks for taking a look at my profile! I'm a LMFT in California. I have been practicing for 31 years. I have worked with just about every mental health diagnosis and a very diverse population of clients.
I work with clients with significant levels of stress and who often have anxiety and depression. Being in distress and psychological pain, they are looking for a way to improve their life, so that they are not feeling out of control or unmotivated or numb. They would like to get their life back on track, learn how to manage stress better, and eliminate their daily anxiety and/or depression so they are able to live their lives in a positive and effective manner.
I work with clients in a collaborative way, using a solution focused approach that centers on my clients and I collaborating on developing solutions to issues that have brought my clients into psychotherapy. It is a positive goal-oriented approach.
I know how difficult it can be to reach out to someone for help. I have had to do this in my past, and it was a positive and rewarding experience for me, and I believe it can be for you, too. I will collaborate with you in outlining the real issues in order to develop your desired outcome, so you can live a more positive life.
I create a warm and supportive environment for my clients and will attempt to work with a client toward developing an outcome that they really want. This is different from a goal, which can be helpful in moving my clients toward their sought after outcome.
