My communication style

My communication style includes clarity and directness, being non-judgmental, assertiveness, humor, collaboration, empathy, and validation. I want you to feel that you are in a trustworthy, solution-focused space.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is a second career for me. I worked in network television production in Los Angeles for sixteen years. I spent several years in therapy and experienced the rewards of doing my work, which influenced me to take a different path and reinvent my professional career. I'm in business to help people.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting begins with asking you questions related to what brought you in for treatment, your expectations, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We'll then collaborate together to set attainable goals and objectives and review progress through the course of treatment.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll ask questions related to what mental and/or behavioral health symptoms may be impairing the quality of your life? How are you feeling? What's going well? What's not? What needs to get better? We'll discuss how therapy works so you have realistic expectations of treatment.
