Everyone has a story, and therapy provides a safe place to form a relationship where the client is able to share his/her experiences and concerns with the therapist. I enjoy facilitating change and relieving emotional distress in order to restore the client’s ability to function in daily activities and to improve his/her relationships. I help facilitate change using a wide variety of therapeutic techniques which include family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness coupled with an empathetic, nonjudgmental and easy-going personality.
I received my Master’s Degree in Psychology from Chapman University and my Bachelor’s Degree from California Polytechnic University Pomona. I have experience working with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds. My personal experience is diverse. I worked for a non-profit organization for thirteen years attending to the chronically mentally ill while consulting with the on-staff psychiatrist to provide comprehensive care.
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and our cat. I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, and working out. I like movies and especially enjoy comedies which can be a great stress reducer. I have been able to travel over seas and hope to revisit Italy and Germany in the future.
