Welcome! Please take your time to review my information in order to make an informed choice of therapists to meet your current needs. I recently retired from SLO County Behavioral Health where I provided therapy and case management services to clients since 1989, and am now in private practice in Atascadero. I would be happy to assist you in discovering how to improve your mood, your relationships, and your life. Initial phone consultations are free, so you can decide if I am the right therapist for helping you along your journey.
I have expertise in helping clients discover how to reduce unwanted symptoms, including anxiety; depression; impulsivity; trauma-triggered reactivity; phobias; substance use; and low self esteem. We can work to improve your ability to set healthier boundaries, with others and with yourself, and to use resources and tools more effectively.
We are all together in this most human of struggles: to accept ourselves, and to be accepted by others. Identifying our own ability to change and grow, in spite of what those around us think or do, is crucial to getting "unstuck." It allows for a healthier way of daily living. I would be glad to help you find your way home to you.
