I am a licensed California Marriage and Family Therapist who uses a warm, interactive counseling style with clients who are experiencing a wide range of concerns. Together, we develop goals and solutions for each person's unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling, happier life and take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you! My approach I use a variety of clinical techniques that are centered on your specific needs and goals. Some methods might include Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectic Behavioral, Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology or Solution-Focused therapy methods. My focus I appreciate that each person's healing journey is challenging and unique. I provide the genuine care, support, encouragement, and validation that is important for that healing process. My communication style I like my clients to feel truly accepted and comfortable in sessions. I listen with care and support and sometimes add helpful thoughts or questions. Often, I work collaboratively with clients so that both of us can gain a deeper understanding of important feelings and concerns.
