I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing for almost 10 years. I have an M.A. from the University of San Francisco, and completed my hours for licensure at many different locations in California. I also have a masters degree in education and was a teacher before I became a therapist. I really enjoy working with people. I am a client centered therapist and utilize a number of different treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have worked extensively with clients who have experienced abuse and trauma and are suffering with PTSD. I also work a great deal with clients who have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. Additionally, I have completed research and training in working with people who are experiencing grief and navigating the difficult and often long process of healing. I provide a safe environment for individuals, couples, children and families to explore the difficult times they are experiencing in their lives. My approach is to develop a comfortable and collaborative relationship with my clients so that we can identify a practical and structured plan for reaching therapeutic goals. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide support, tools and practical feedback to help clients address life challenges.
