Hi there, I'm Angi!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT137314). My approach to therapy is collaborative, which means that I work with you to address the challenges that are getting in the way of you living the life you want. Together, we will explore the root causes of your problems and develop effective strategies for change.

My focus

I specialize in addiction recovery and post-hospitalization crisis recovery. I am comfortable working with adults 18 and over.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is primarily integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and elements of psychodynamic theory, to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and situation. I prioritize a collaborative and client-centered process to foster positive change.

My communication style

I engage in "real" talk. I create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. I actively listen and provide guidance and support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I found myself at a crossroads over 20 years ago. I started by taking classes to become a drug and alcohol counselor. Then, someone suggested that I return to school and earn a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been blessed to be actively working in a field I love.

My goals for you

Each person sets their goals for therapy. Together, we break those goals into smaller, achievable steps. Then work together to make forward progress.

Our first session

During our initial session, I will conduct a comprehensive assessment to get to know you and understand your goals. Together, we will determine the primary goal of therapy and the duration required to achieve it.
