I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in both California and Arizona, who has practiced for 23+ years and specializes in ERP for OCD and EMDR for painful life experiences resulting in anxiety.
I specialize in helping people identify the deeper root of their anxiety and relationship stress through ERP and EMDR sessions. You had a painful experience & who you were & how you saw the world - just aren’t the same anymore. You feel lost, angry, & afraid. Maybe you experienced a divorce, trauma, got a medical diagnosis, or lost someone (or something) that you love. Maybe it happened suddenly without any warning or maybe the fact that you knew it was coming, made it feel even worse. You need someone who understands & can help you put the pieces of your life back together. You want to feel whole and hopeful.

I am a psychotherapist with advanced trainings in psychodynamic therapy, Exposure Response Prevention for OCD and phobias, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioral therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, and specific education and trainings relating to high control groups and spiritual trauma.
People come to me from all walks of life, all seeking something different for themselves. I specialize in helping people working through life transitions. This includes people experiencing faith transitions or healing from religious/spiritual trauma or transitioning away from a high-control group, those transitioning to a new family structure, people entering a new season of life, those coping with a diagnosis or illness, and those navigating new relationships or exploring existing relationships in new ways. As life changes, we change with it. I help my clients explore and navigate this messy, confusing, exhilarating process.

I maintain a diverse practice serving adult clients (18-80+) presenting with a variety of concerns, including but not restricted to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma/abuse, relationships and family of origin issues.
My first priority is to offer a professional, safe, and comfortable environment to explore whatever concerns you may be having and to develop a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship from which to provide therapy. As a former military psychologist (2001-2006), I had very broad and diverse exposure to many mental health conditions. I quickly learned to implement a variety of approaches to address the unique needs of my clients. My aim is to provide treatment tailored specifically to each client. No two people are exactly alike and their therapy shouldn't be either. Above all, I want to help you create lasting change and improvement.

I have in depth experience with anxiety, trauma and depression along with the ways that those issues can affect the members of their family.
Making changes can be very difficult. I believe that therapy is about finding the inner strengths inside of yourself that can allow you to become the person you want to be. Whether you are healing from wounds from your past or looking to write a new future, change is possible. No two people go through this process in the same way, everyone's journey is very unique.

Have you been impacted by the trauma of betrayal? Trauma within relationships can look like infidelity, physical abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse, porn addiction, emotional neglect/abandonment, etc. from someone you thought you could trust like your parents, a good friend, or your spouse. When trust and safety are obliterated in significant relationships it can feel like your world is turned upside down and everything you thought you knew is now in question. In addition, symptoms of trauma can be extremely distressing but luckily there is hope and there are ways to find healing.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
