I love to help others explore challenges and strengths through the lens of their lived experiences. My goal is to create a space that fosters healing and growth without asking anyone to compromise who they are. As a Black therapist, I understand how culture, identity, and systemic factors shape the way we move through the world—and how those experiences show up in our mental health. I center my work on authenticity, compassion, and cultural humility, offering a therapeutic relationship where you can show up fully, without judgment. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or the complexities of being bicultural or underrepresented, I’m here to support you in reclaiming your voice and honoring your truth.

Independent Consulting Services has been serving the autistic and developmentally disabled population for the past thirty years. We specialize in servicing long term care facilities that serve this population. However, we also service in-home clients, helping their parents cope with their children's behaviors, as well as school settings for kids who have a difficult time and exhibit behavioral problems. Our services primarily consist of assessing the problem, coming up with a workable behavioral plan, implementing that plan, and teaching all of the people involved how to run the plan. Formal training and presentations on Applied Behavior Analysis and developing behavioral strategies are also available. Our Executive Director is an author and well known in the San Fernando area who wrote the book "WHY WE BEHAVE" explaining why we have to behave to survive in this world and the more efficiently you behave, the more opportunities you have to succeed in whatever you are doing or want to do. We offer licensed psychologists, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), Marriage and Family Counselors (MFT), and psychopharmacologists. We come to you. We are a mobile group and serve the people needing our services where the problem is occurring.

My approach is usually cognitive behavioral with emotional support, but can vary depending on the problem.

My areas of counseling are depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, PTSD, crisis, addictions, self esteem, and relationship troubles. GIve me a call or email to find out how I can help you.

Life is often filled with challenges which affect each of us in different ways. I believe that how we approach and overcome those challenges, help to shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. I began my Marriage and Family Psychotherapy practice here in Glendora out of a desire to use my life experience, education, and passion to help serve the health needs of our community and the surrounding cities. Through my experience in a variety of settings, I have discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations in order to lead a more authentic life. Creating a safe and supportive environment, where you can feel comfortable, is essential to my practice. In that setting, we can collaborate on how best to understand your situation, identify your goals, and find solutions. I bring a varied theoretical approach, centered on forms of therapy including psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral, brief/solution focused, and ensuring sensitivity to cultural diversity. My services include counseling individuals, families, couples and groups. • Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image • Relationships • Anxiety • Depression • Premarital • Grief & Loss/ • Parenting • War Veterans and Family • Counseling for Men • Endometriosis, Interstitial Cystitis, Infertility • Older Adults • Group therapy: Ongoing Eating Disorder Recovery and Body Image Group

I see a variety of clients from ages 5 to 75. This includes people who have various life adjustment problems as well as those with personality and mood disorders. I treat children with play therapy for behavioral and other problems. Couples may require conjoint therapy for marital difficulties which may include other family members. And, of course, individual psychotherapy may be useful. I treat people who have suffered traumas caused by sexual, physical and emotional abuse which could result in depression, anxiety, social phobias, etc. I am able to assist people in overcoming self-defeating behavior which cause an inability to achieve goals in life. I use various types of therapy depending on the individual and types of problems he or she may be having. One very effective therapy technique is the utilization of inner voice dialogue with ways to conquer negative self-concepts. This may include bibleotherapy and worksheets depending on an individual's preference. Many first time patients are surprised to find that "talk therapy" can be so tension relieving. As a result, you may find yourself experiencing a lightening of moods and an enhanced sense of well-being. There's a great payoff in learning more about yourself.

Often psychotherapy is thought of as admitting failure - that you are unable to work out your own problems or just for crazy people. We are never taught the skills we need in relationships, how to process feelings about past events or make changes in our lives that will get us beyond a frustrating situation. Life and psychotherapy are processes. I feel that therapy is a process through which healing occurs and we discover meaning and purpose through which we become who we potentially are. There is no one right answer, there is only your answer that therapy can help you to discover. As a therapist I believe that deep inside every being is an innate wise core Self that can help one reach our potential. But often we are too distracted by our external environment to hear the voice of the Self or the Soul. In therapy it is important to address the whole person. I look for the potential in each person and help him or her to see it in as a beacon toward which to grow. Changing behavior is important, but I believe that change comes from the inside out. We need to believe in ourselves, our potential and find meaning and purpose in life that motivates us toward greater awareness, greater participation in life and greater appreciation of the opportunity life offers us for growth and fulfillment. I feel it is important to integrate spiritual beliefs into everyday life so that we act in relationships in a way that is consistent with what we believe and that we live our lives by the philosophy of our souls. This is important to our happiness and health and when we nurture our souls we contribute to the well being of family, friends, the workplace, society and our planet. Trauma, abuse and violence where trust and safety have been violated affect one’s ability to have and sustain relationships that are satisfying and nurturing. I work with victims of crime and abuse that is physical, sexual, verbal and emotional. This includes trauma recovery and healing. I also work with serious illness, death and dying and grief and bereavement. I work with all ages and address relationship problems within families, couples and groups in therapy. I have specialized experience, knowledge and training in “Spiritual Emergence / Emergency” in its many forms. I have a Transpersonal theoretical orientation, and work with creativity, intuition and spiritual experiences. I have training and knowledge in hypnosis, spirituality, parapsychology, consciousness, dreams, meditation, relaxation and visualization and Psychoneuroimmunology.

I believe therapy should be accessible. I love to work with the LGBTQI community and with the wide array of issues unique to them. I also try to help people find a way out of religious scrupulosity and the depression and anxiety it brings. Another passion or mine is helping people control their anger before it takes control of them. I work with a wide variety of emotional and behavioral issues and seek to provide a space for growth and insight. It is essential that you have a good fit with a therapist. If you think I might be right for you I will offer you a free face-to-face consultation for you to get a feel for how we might work together.

I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. My country of origin is Argentina; I am bilingual Spanish-English. Many of my patients are from different cultures, not only Latinos but also Asian, Indian, African American, Caucasian. I enjoy working with people with different perspectives, since I beleive growth is generated in the enrichment of diversity. Please contact me if you would like to schedule an initial session. Or if you prefer, you can request an "informal visit", with the purpose of meeting me and discussing your questions, my therapy styles, fees, policy, confidentiallity, etc. Thank you for your interest!

Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future. Or perhaps you desperately want to be a good parent, but it seems like everything you have tried hasn't worked. If this is you, I would be honored to come alongside you and offer my assistance. It takes wisdom to recognize when a problem exists and courage to do something about it. As your therapist, you honor me by sharing your life with me. I will bring the best that I know from my study and experience. I will actively listen to your concerns, offer real solutions and provide relevant feedback. I will always have compassion and empathy for you in all that we do. I value you as a person in need of respect and care and will always treat you with highest dignity.

The Place Within offers skillful, affordable counseling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families. At The Place Within, we believe that each person is gifted with the inner inclination, innate wisdom and natural ability for solving their own problems and creating more love, joy and satisfaction in their lives. However, everyone feels unsatisfied, unhappy, even lost at various times. We all face crisis of one type or another. While we can often move through these difficult times on our own, many of us find qualified, caring assistance and coaching helpful, perhaps even necessary, as an aid in wisely and courageously accessing our latent qualities and moving our one precious life toward what we are meant to be.

It is essential for each of us to discover our own way of being. Frequently, in therapy, people often feel frustrated because they don't feel they have the ability to change their situation. It is not always easy to face our problems or seek another's help. The daily stresses of life can build until we feel completely overwhelmed with life. Many who first come to therapy report feeling lost, alone, or depressed and many feel confusion and hopelessness about the future. These feelings are very normal yet most people feel as if they are falling apart. It is important for each of us to allow ourselves the space to reflect upon our day to day life and our future. Therapy is just that opportunity. It allows us to work through some of the most difficult struggles life can impose on us in an atmosphere of acceptance and unconditional support. Competent therapists do not offer solutions or take sides. They help clients work out solutions according to individual values and lifestyles. Seeking professional assistance is a sign of courage and a willingness to deal with life's many changes

Do you sometimes feel "out of step" with those around you? Do you ever wonder why everyone else seems to have it all under control, while you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or anxious? I specialize in working with LGBT couples and individuals, and also working moms trying to figure out how to juggle all the demands on their time! As a therapist, I work with you to define the right path for you, and how to reach the goals you set for yourself. We work together to manage your insecurities and anxieties, so your dreams can be achieved. I am also a trained EMDR therapist, a type of psychotherapy that often helps clients get through the therapy process more quickly. Let me help you find the light at the end of the tunnel!

Relationships are essential to our overall health and well-being. Good connections develop and strengthen us, and are a source of encouragement and resilience in the face of life's difficulties and setbacks. Difficult connections are painful and can impair and even immobilize us. So it's important to attend to how we interact with others and find ways to improve the quality of our relational life. I focus on finding ways of developing healthier and more satisfying relationships with the significant people in your life. Whether it’s your spouse, partner, friend, co-worker, or a family member, they matter. Difficulty in any one of them can lead to anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck and confused. The solutions include understanding and improving your attachment style, personal boundaries, and developing skills for more effective communication, conflict resolution and problem solving. My approach integrates the psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions of life that leads to making good choices for self-care and healthy connections.

I'm a dependable skillful competent therapist who can help you resolve your relationship or individual problems. I like to work with clients who want to make rapid but enduring changes in their lives. Therapy is a process that takes into account all aspects of life that may be out of balance including emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual factors. Call me if you want a guide who will help you improve your relationship, reduce your stress, relate better to your children, or help you gain the skills you need to get your life back on track. I work with couples, individuals and families in a safe, caring and comfortable stetting. My specialty is helping people work through problems that are keeping them from functioning at their best. If you are feeling stuck, uncertain, or at a roadblock in your life call me. I can help you move forward. My Claremont and West Covina offices are freeway close. I have daytime and evening hours, and take Saturday appointments. I mold each session to meet your personal needs. My clients walk away from a session feeling they have learned something about themselves and have been given skills to solve their problems. A persons spirituality is important to me and I work with clients to help them make sense of their life and find their life purpose.

Are you considering therapy? Are you struggling with depression and/or anxiety? Is your addiction affecting your personal relationships or performance at work? Would you and your partner like to recover from infidelity that has occurred in your relationship? Are you and your teen having trouble getting along? Have you experienced a profound loss and having difficulty with the grief? Are you dealing with infertility? Miscarriage? Or had an infant loss? Have you found yourself living with a chronic medical condition and having trouble feeling motivated or understood? Are you ready to change your life? If you answered yes to any of these questions... Then maybe it is time to seek therapy. Every stage of life presents different challenges and opportunities for growth. Having worked as a licensed psychotherapist with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, I am a resource for people seeking to meet those challenges, resolve difficult problems, and achieve the personal success that results from this process. I truly enjoy helping people obtain peace and happiness in their lives. I offer compassion, empathy, and support as you work to heal and grow.

Are you having more intense feelings lately? Tired of trying so hard? Have you lost your creative edge and become too resigned to routine? Life changes. . . even something positive such as a new marriage, child or job can create unfamiliar situations and energies. Anxiety, confusion, irritability or emptiness are signs that its time to check in with yourself. Therapy is often about creating time each week to reflect, question, and evaluate what's going on for you. Many highly sensitive, gifted and talented people have come to pursue what is next with their self understanding and relationship to others. Executives, designers, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, helping professionals and others have returned over the years to develop further awareness and skills from as far away as Santa Monica, Rancho Palos Verdes, Westlake, La Verne and Downtown LA. Video counseling is available for residents of California (except for psychotherapy). Real-life issues can crop up for those who have emigrated, immigrated, or re-entered the US (within in the last two generations). I have first-hand experience with all three situations and have worked successfully with diplomats, peace corps workers, missionaries and expatriates.

I provide individual, group, and family sessions for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy; however, also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy and Mindfulness to further promote well being and help individuals reach their personal treatment goals. Although my practice is a general practice, I specialize in the treatment of various mood and anxiety disorders (i.e., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Bipolar Disorder and etc.) as well as Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders (i.e., Trichotillomania, skin picking, and compulsive hoarding). I believe in the importance of providing collaborative, individualized and evidence based treatment. It would be a pleasure to get to know you and assist you in improving your quality of life.

I take a holistic, body-mind approach in psychotherapy and work with clients to cultivate a grounded, more compassionate vision of their lives. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples discover a deeper, lasting sense of security and intimacy within themselves and with one another. I will work with you to define and understand the source of your struggle, understand the purpose behind your patterns, reconnect with you essential parts of yourself, and improve your capacity to grow and accept change. I work with DEPRESSION, GRIEF, SHAME, ANXIETY, TRAUMA, RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, concerns around LIFE TRANSITIONS, as well as the issues surrounding cultural identity. While change is often an opportunity for significant personal growth, it is normal to feel overwhelmed by the internal and external pressures that accompany a change process. I provide a empathic, collaborative healing space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and questions. My theoretical framework is a combination of insight/depth-oriented, relational, cross-cultural, cognitive and somatic (body-oriented) psychotherapies. It is my belief that transformation and healing ultimately rest within us all. Therapy is a journey toward living more fully and reclaiming peace and wholeness. I do not presume to have the answers or know what is right for you. My job is to help you understand yourself as deeply as possible, so that you live and embrace your relationship with yourself and others in a way that is healthy, vibrant and meaningful for you.

I am so glad you’re considering therapy right now. Reaching out for therapy takes courage. It’s a choice to move toward balance, clarity, and wholeness. That movement can look different for everyone: starting therapy for the first time, deepening self-awareness, or finding new ways to connect in relationships. However you arrive, you are welcome here. My background as a teacher shapes the way I approach therapy because I believe in learning together. My role isn’t to “fix” you but to walk alongside you as we explore what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and what kind of change feels meaningful to you. My work integrates evidence-based methods with compassion, cultural humility, and respect for your unique story. I’m deeply trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which teaches us that growth often means holding two truths at once the both/and of any situation. Together, we’ll look at what needs to be accepted before we can move forward — and how to do that in practical, sustainable ways. We can accept ourselves as we are while still working toward change. Together, we’ll focus on building practical skills and insight to help you live a life that aligns with your values. You can expect our sessions to be collaborative, conversational, and guided by your goals. Together, we’ll explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and how we can shift them to better serve you. I also bring a background in body neutrality and body liberation, supporting clients in healing their relationships with their bodies and themselves. If you’ve ever felt unseen, disconnected, or uncertain about your identity, I want you to know you’re not alone. My practice is affirming, sex-positive, and inclusive of LGBTQIA+, POC, and kink communities. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and identity exploration. My goal is for you to walk away from therapy feeling more grounded, empowered, and connected with tools to help you move through life’s challenges with greater ease and authenticity.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Psychiatric Technician, and Masters level Addictions Counselor in Pasadena, California. Since 1984, I’ve been providing mental health services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and/or outpatient settings. As such, I have a varied experience with abuse, trauma, depression, grief/loss, issues of personal growth, relationships, stress, and mental illness. During that time I have also worked extensively with addictions (of all types) and related issues (“co-dependency”, eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis…). My responsibilities have ranged from Licensed Psychiatric Technician (where much of my experience in mental health and medications comes from), to Program Director. Currently I am in private practice, life coaching, teaching, providing clinical supervision to prelicensed therapists, providing some staff training and consultation.

Are you facing a difficult life adjustment or challenge? Having relationship problems? Seeking deeper meaning or value? Experiencing excessive sadness or anxiety? Finding more questions than answers? As a licensed psychologist, I have extensive professional experience addressing many of these issues that may be holding you back from achieving your goals. Therapy is a proven path to developing inner strength and understanding how to overcome life's hardships and be resilient in the face of adversity. My treatment approach for each individual is unique and determined by the presenting circumstances and what the individual(s) hopes to obtain from therapy. My aim is to help people discover workable solutions to improve their lives. This often involves making adaptive changes to the present that will improve the future.

I’m a trained psychotherapist with 15+ years experience working with adults and adolescents. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, self-sabotaging behaviors, and relationship problems. I integrate various treatment approaches and theories in my work with clients, including somatic experiencing, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, attachment theory, spirituality, and buddhist meditation. I work in an empathic and supportive environment, helping clients to rapidly get to the core issues which keep them stuck in their lives, unhappy in relationships, or chronically depressed, angry, or anxious. Almost always, what creates suffering is the avoidance of painful feelings and/or experiences. When we avoid these painful feelings, we become more anxious, more depressed, or more angry. This leads to a vicious cycle of problems within ourselves (i.e, depression) or in relationships, which cause us even more suffering. By bringing to the surface the deep and buried, often complex, underlying thoughts, emotions, and experiences and working them through (feeling them in the body, understanding their source), this frees them up. And the unwanted feelings (anxiety, depression) or behavior melt away on their own. This then allows us to be more connected to both ourselves and others, to have more intimacy in our relationships and to feel more fulfilled in general. Using this approach, significant and lasting change can happen rather quickly, much quicker than most other therapies out there. And because these changes occur at a deep level, they tend to be lasting.

If you are living with TRAUMATIC events from your past, ranging from insult, abuse, humiliation, violence, attachment wounds, or even subtle disappointments, therapy could be a safe space to address these injuries. Through a collaborative approach and taking into account the mind & body, I join my clients on a journey of exploration, growth, and healing. I can assist you in reconnecting with yourself, feel grounded, and help manage your life more smoothly. My specialties include working with trauma (emotional, sexual, physical, neglect, incest, rape, etc.), attachment issues, dissociation/multiplicity, general relationship issues, anxiety and depression, fears/phobias, grief & loss issues, etc. ​ I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment approach shown to help children, adolescents, and their caretakers overcome trauma-related difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), Trauma Resiliency Module(TRM), and Brainspotting are a big part of my practice. All modalities are very effective in treating traumas. EMDR is a form of psychotherapy that has been successful in helping people who suffer from trauma, anxiety, panic, disturbing memories, nightmares, etc. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while the client attends to past memories and triggers, in efforts to decrease or eliminate emotional distress connected to the memory. TRM is a somatic approach that helps clients with traumatic stress reactions by learning skills to help stabilize the mind and body. Clients will learn to track body sensations and bring balance back to the nervous system. I am a Certified TRM practitioner. Brainspotting is a somatic therapy that helps clients access the subcortical (non-verbal) part of the brain, where trauma is typically stored. According to the creator of brainspotting, David Grand, "where you look affects how you feel." Since our eyes gives us access to the subcortical brain, Brainspotting uses the visual field as a way to helps release stored memories. I also have sexual abuse survivor's groups, for both men and women.

I work mostly with men who are feeling alone, angry, and ashamed. Most men in our society experience profound isolation and dissatisfaction with their lives, which they think is the way it's "supposed" to be. This couldn't be further from the truth. Our work together addresses these issues so that you can be alive and free. I believe that humans heal through connecting with others and I hope to make that connection with you. My approach also takes into account the larger forces that we have to deal with on a day to day basis in order to help therapy be more effective and lasting. I work from a Psychodynamic and Systemic framework but my honestly and authenticity is offered above all else.

I am a down to Earth therapist who enjoys the relational aspect of therapy and learning who my clients are as individuals.

I am also a Certified Level 1 Gottman Method Couples Therapist, and a Certified Trauma Professional.

We all deserve to feel seen, included, and understood, no matter who we are. As a LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist, my aim is to help you better see yourself in all aspects of who you are, feel more included in relation to those around you, and experience a greater understanding of how you fit into a wider world. Maybe you’re exploring your non-binary gender for the first time. Maybe you’re supporting a transgender family member or partner. Maybe you’re working through relationship challenges as an LGBTQ+ person. Together, we can explore what “seen,” “included,” and “understood” mean for you and how you can achieve them. As a queer and transgender person myself, supporting other LGBTQ+ folks is my personal and professional passion. I strive to create safe, inclusive, judgement-free spaces for clients to explore, heal, and grow. While therapy can be hard work, I'm prepared to work as hard as you are and I'll be there to affirm and support you through the whole process. Reaching out for help can be scary.

I make every effort to understand my client's needs, and I make it a priority to meet with my clients at their starting point. Along the way, I do my best to provide my clients with safe and healthy environment. I have been extensively involved in conducting therapy with children, adolescents, couples, and families from divers populations in two languages, English and Arabic. I have gained my experience working in the United States and Egypt, using psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral therapies. My Clients come from a wide variety of ethnicities and backgrounds. I work cooperatively with doctors, teachers, social workers and others to best serve my clients. My ultimate goal is for my clients to reach self-growth and experience a better life.

Are you ready to understand, heal, change or stop doing the same old things? If so, I'm here to help. If you have suffered a recent loss, are currently in a life transition or just ready to move on and experience life differently - I am ready to help you achive those goals. Let's face it, we live in a fast paced and sometimes complicated world. It's easy to loose sight of what is important. We have less time to pause and reflect. Our relationships with ourselves and others are being impacted. Therapy is time for you to stop and consider what is actually happening in your life so you can make consious choices about who you are, what you value and the direction you want to move.

Are you unhappy about the current state of your relationship? Is it hard to communicate with your partner? Does it feel like every conversation starts a fight? Do you feel alone even when your partner is next to you? Are your relationship problems bringing you down, affecting your mood, or making it hard to concentrate at work? Do you remember the better times, back when the two of you were much more in love? Do you deeply desire to repair the relationship and regain intimacy with your partner? If you can relate to these questions, your relationship probably needs some work. As a couples therapy specialist, I can help you and your partner improve your relationship. Couples counseling can help rebuild trust, improve communication, increase intimacy, reduce verbal fighting, resolve re-occurring conflicts, and bottom line is to create a mutually satisfying relationship.

I have had experience treating people of all ages and walks of life. The one thing I have found that ties each of us together is the innate desire to progress and better ourselves. In life there will be specific circumstances, life transitions, relationship dynamics and/or traumas that may require us to seek out support and understanding. I have dedicated my professional career in trying to do just that for my clients and their families. Therapy can be an intimidating venture, therefor I have built my profession in creating an environment that makes my clients feel comfortable and safe. I use an eclectic approach in deciding techniques and/or therapy styles to utilize in session. I have learned that therapy has to be as unique as the individuals/couples/families I treat.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and passionately believe in cultivating health, well-being, and emotional resilience. I bring this passion to my work and I am dedicated to help others in the process of achieving a more balanced life. I have been in private practice for 13 years and have offices conveniently located in Pasadena and Beverly Hills. I believe good mental health begins with an ability to connect the dots of our individual “stories” in order to develop a coherent narrative and "make sense" of that story. To accomplish this, I collaborate with my clients utilizing a variety of interventions including mindfulness practices and EMDR to assist in emotional regulation and symptom relief. I also help my clients identify specific coping strategies that may have brilliantly served them in childhood and adolescence but may no longer be useful or needed today. I help individuals understand themselves, parents better understand their children and help partners express themselves to each other more effectively. My clients are excited by our work and share that they often feel more hopeful and resilient after our sessions. Additionally, they acquire practical tools to take into their day-to-day lives. My current practice includes adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. I also see couples, families and children. I have a special expertise in working with the adoption community and facilitate various groups and workshops throughout the year for adoptees as well as adoptive parents and birth parents. I conduct workshops promoting adoption awareness for educators and mental health professionals. I co-chaired and presented at the First Annual Adopt Salon Conference in November 2012. Featured presenters included Nancy Verrier, Adam Pertman, Marlou Russell and many other leaders in the adoption field. Additionally, as a California approved Clinical Supervisor, I provide supervision and guidance to interns and trainees accruing experiential hours toward MFT licensure. My areas of expertise include: • Relief from depression, anxiety and suffering • Helping couples and families communicate more effectively • Adoption issues: I work with adoptees, adoptive families and couples who are considering adoption. I facilitate support groups and psycho-education groups several times during the year for all members of the adoption and foster care community. • Adolescents struggling with school stress, concentration, peer relations and esteem issues • Parenting concerns • Grief, trauma and loss
