I am a LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist)
providing individual, couple, children and family therapy. I
specialize in domestic violence recovery. I have worked with many abuse
survivors, including adults, children and families. I also
specialize in parenting/family support. As a certified advanced trainer
in the Nurtured Heart Approach to parenting I am uniquely qualified to
support you in the challenges you may face as a parent or family.
I view counseling as a collaborative experience and a safe place where
self-discovery, learning, and healing takes place. To best support
you, I need to get to know you and to understand your feelings and
experiences as much as possible. The key to effective counseling is
providing a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings,
and behaviors in a positive and non-judgmental atmosphere. I will
listen to you, help you clarify your thoughts and feelings, and support you
in beginning to gain a better understanding of yourself.

Bachelor of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology from City University.
