My passion is to help people reach their highest potential. To focus on strengths. I have been a therapist for over 22 years. I work on the faulty beliefs and messages one gives themselves that holds them hostage to their anxiety, depression and poor relationships.

My goal is to provide warm, practical counseling for individuals and couples online in California. I create a safe, encouraging space where clients gain clarity, build confidence, and develop real-life tools to move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Here is what I seek to provide; a safe environment of trust and confidentiality, to cultivate honest self-expression, to embrace self-acceptance and respect diversity and to encourage personal growth and integrity.

Welcome to my practice. I am a seasoned, experienced psychologist, anger management expert and marriage therapist who is dedicated to teaching you practical and useful tools and thought skills to better deal with your personal, life, or relationship challenges.

Creating space in our lives to reflect and process is important for our well- being, and maintenance of healthy relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to validate our experiences.
