Peace, freedom from conflict, is a fundamental human right. "Creating more peace in the world one person, one couple, one family at a time" is my professional mission statement. My goal is to use my clinical skills to assist as many people as possible to heal and empower themselves. I have extensive training in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, chemical dependency, eating disorders, and domestic violence. For ten years I served as an associate professor of Human Services at Saddleback College training prospective counselors, therapists and others pursuing professions in human services.
In my private practice my canine co-therapist Friede and I work with children, adults, couples and families. I adapt treatment modalities to suit my clients’ needs. Additionally, I serve children and adults experiencing separation and divorce as a Coparenting, Family, and Child Specialist in Collaborative Divorce. Divorce Mediation, and Litigation processes.
I am a featured author on Psychology Today's blog. I believe what Albert Camus said - Peace is the only battle worth waging. My goal is to help every one of my clients find the peace and hope that will help them heal and grow.
