With over two decades of experience working with clients, I recognize that the choice to engage in therapy is a significant one. I understand the urgency that surfaces when life feels unsettled and questions come up. My aim is to support individuals of all backgrounds, sexual and gender identities, and neurodiversity in learning to live fulfilling lives devoid of trauma, stress, depression, and anxiety.
Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or counseling, is a collaborative process between a trained therapist and a client, aimed at improving your emotional well-being and facilitating your personal growth.
Couples counseling provides a safe and supportive environment where couples can explore underlying issues, learn effective communication strategies, and rebuild trust, ultimately fostering a deeper connection and mutual understanding between partners.
Trauma-focused therapy is a specialized approach to psychotherapy designed to help individuals heal from the psychological effects of traumatic experiences, whether stemming from single events like accidents or natural disasters, or ongoing situations like abuse or neglect,
Attachment-focused therapy is an approach within psychotherapy that centers on understanding and addressing patterns of attachment developed in early relationships. These early patterns deeply influence an individual’s beliefs, emotions, and behaviors in relationships throughout their lifespan
My dedication to the field of psychology spans over 30 years. Graduating from the University of Southern California, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of human behavior to my practice.
My commitment to providing comprehensive care is evident in my work with a diverse clientele. From individuals grappling with depression and anxiety to those seeking support for substance abuse issues or navigating complex relationship dynamics, I approach each person with empathy, insight, and a personalized treatment tailored to the unique needs of every client.
At the heart of my therapeutic approach lies a deep-seated belief in the power of collaboration and empowerment. As an interactive and solution-focused therapist, I actively engage clients, providing them with the support, tools, and practical feedback needed to navigate life’s challenges effectively.
By integrating complementary methodologies and techniques, I offer a holistic approach that fosters personal growth, resilience, and lasting change.
Driven by compassion and a desire to help others thrive, I am dedicated to helping individuals construct fulfilling lives and nurture meaningful connections with others.
