I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Central Valley and working with clients across California via Telehealth. I work with individuals and couples experiencing difficulties with codependency, anger, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
My approach to therapy integrates cognitive-behavioral and attachment theories, which enable an exploration of how attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and past experiences may be related to current difficulties. Through this exploration, life goals, communication, conflict resolution skills, and coping strategies can be developed as the individual moves toward healing and growth.
I am experienced in working with individuals who are seeking to improve their lives and relationships, and who may have challenges with anger, anxiety, sex addictions, depression, and the aftermath of regrettable choices. I also work with couples who seek to improve their communication, overall relationship satisfaction, co-parenting skills, and post-affair healing. I have extensive experience working with groups in sexual addiction, domestic violence/batterers intervention, and anger management.
I am passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and encouraging environment that facilitates self-reflection and personal growth. I am committed to maintaining a positive regard toward clients and supporting their desire for change.
I am motivated and blessed with the desire to help others improve their situation, regain their confidence, or find contentment and peace. Through my counseling experience in various counseling settings, correctional facilities, and domestic violence programs, I believe that we all have the potential for growth and change; sometimes through learning, sometimes through healing, and often through both.
