I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)in the state of California, 141160. I will listen to you in an effort to understand you, where you are coming from, and any repeating patterns. I can offer alternative ways of managing triggers, stressors, and emotions, as well as help you clarify what it is that you want for yourself. I have a passion for working with relationship issues and stress. I like to work with people who are experiencing distress, want to figure out why, and want to start to take some actions toward resolving the distress.As a therapist trained in DBT and EMDR, I can help you identify the source of your distress, identify how your current distress might be being enhanced by experiences from your past, help you make informed decisions about how you want your life to be moving forward, and offer you skills and support that can help you reach those goals for yourself.
