As a psychotherapist, I really enjoy walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate through life’s difficult pathways to those of change, healing, and growth. Deciding to come to counseling is a courageous decision which offers the opportunity to focus on oneself and to sort out the issues.
​
I strive to help couples and families shift from fighting with each other to enjoying each other; to help individuals step away from damaging behaviors and patterns; and to help adolescents gain and enhance their strengths and identity. I provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment in which to take the next right step towards new and healthy patterns of being.
​
My Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy is from Brandman University, part of Chapman University, and I have additional training in Mediation/Conflict Resolution and specialized training in EMDR, a trauma-based therapy. I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
