About me

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist licensed in California for over 20 years. I have a teaching and ministry background that I also bring to help you, I have worked in many different clinical settings that affords me a wide, accepting, thoughtful view of helping people. I have had a private practice since 2004 helping couples with a variety of relationship issues such as conflict resolution (includes parenting . settling differences) , betrayal, positive communication (includes fair fighting), feelings of abandonment and isolation within the relationship.
My way of helping is to foster each partner's strength and self confidence individually and within the couple's relationship. I have used Cognitive Behavioral ("here and now" reality based), Humanistic (client centered), Psychodynamic ( your beginning emotional roots) and Mindfulness approaches in a combined way that "suits each partner as well the couple."
I look forward to working with you to make your lives better!
