I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my master’s degree at the California School of Professional Psychology of Alliant International University in Marriage and Family Therapy. I enjoy working with teens, adults, families and couples. I have experience working with clients of all ages, from children to seniors, on issues that include: grief and bereavement, chronic and terminal illness, students struggling with academic and social challenges, generalized anxiety and depression, caretaker stress, assisting families with changes that arise during adoption and fostering, adults recreating their lives post-divorce, and women’s issues. Additionally, I have worked with the LGBTQ community and provide a safe and supportive environment for therapy. I enjoy helping my clients rediscover their strengths and find direction in their lives. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent over twenty years working as an attorney. I work collaboratively with clients using therapeutic approaches that include integrative therapy, strategic theory, narrative theory, motivational interviewing, family systems, and utilizing the creative arts. I am a certified clinical trauma professional,  a certified clinical Tele mental health provider and a certified  advanced grief counseling specialist. I am published in Family Therapy Magazine. I believe all successful therapy is unique to each client, and based on a foundation of empathy, respect, and trust to help you toward a healthier life.
