About me

I really enjoy working with couples. As a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with 10 years of experience, I've worked with couples with a wide range of concerns, relationship and issues, and big life transitions. I have worked with couples who just want a healthier relationship.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. A foundational principle in my practice is that everyone is treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, Gestalt and trauma-focused counseling. I'm certified in Relationship Enhancement. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek help when things are not going well. The first steps towards a change are often the hardest. If you are ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
