ABOUT ME
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pleasanton, CA with over two decades of successfully helping teens and adults. I have extensive training in parenting, childhood issues, trauma as well as depression and anxiety.
Working with me you will find my style is warm, open, and interactive, allowing you to expand your perspective and grow throughout the therapy process. I provide an atmosphere where you can feel safe, respected and, most importantly, understood. My approach is tailored to meet your individual needs, but typically I draw on cognitive-behavioral and humanistic modalities.
Therapy is most beneficial when our work is a collaborative effort and I work hard to achieve a healthy balance of support and challenge to encourage you to grow. My role is to explore and build on the strengths you already possess. I firmly believe that people have the ability to make positive changes in their lives.
Whether we are looking at past influences to gain insight into current behaviors or examining challenging relationships or periods of transition, my job is to help you identify and navigate the path necessary for healing and growth.
