I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in California with over 12 years of experience working as a therapist, and educator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and relational issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines CBT, humanistic, and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe whole heartedly in the value of the therapist/client relationship and will strive to make the connection a genuine working relationship that is infused with humor, honesty, and trust. My goal in therapy is to not only help you through difficulties of the past/present but to empower you to become stronger and live a happier, healthier life. 

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I will be here to support and empower you through the journey. 

I look forward to working with you!
