I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, & parenting issues. I also have experience working with depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My treatment approach can be described as strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, and contemplative. I often use treatment strategies from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, and spirituality from the 12-step tradition. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
