I am licensed in California both as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).
My practice emphasizes on helping clients resolve immediate situations, while healing from difficult life experiences and developing strong personal and intimate relationships. I believe successful relationships are the key to having a healthy and rewarding life. The process of psychotherapy can strengthen one's sense of confidence, self-acceptance, and responsibility in daily life. It can also lead to a greater capacity for intimacy, to a more productive use of innate skills, and to experiencing more meaning and pleasure in life.

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help.

It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Let's be real - relationships can be really freaking hard. Marriage is NOT the fairy tale you thought you signed up for. It's probably been pretty difficult for a while now, so props to you for seeking out therapy! There will always be challenges, but you absolutely can shift your relationships into a space of ease.

Did you know that a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California is only required to take one semester in graduate school on how to work with couples? This is absolutely not enough experience to offer couples meaningful change.
Want to be a power couple? I can show you how. In the past 10 years of my practice, I have seen many couples. I can’t say I’ve seen it all, but I have seen A LOT. Some fight explosively, triggered easily by a snide comment or an exaggerated exhale from their spouse. Others never fight but the distance between them is palpable minute they walk in the room and sit on opposite sides of my couch. However, one thing they all had in common is suffering due to a lack of connection and belonging. Humans are all wired for love and relationship, but unfortunately some never learn the skillsets necessary to be successful at partnership.
