I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with offices in Hermosa Beach and Seal Beach. I am certified by ICEEFT in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). As an EFT therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families break out of the destructive, negative cycles in which they are stuck; make sense of their own and others’ emotions; and create close, healthy relationships.
I conducted in-depth research on couples therapy and EFT while pursuing my Master’s degree in Counseling/Marriage and Family Therapy at California State University, Fullerton. I have numerous additional trainings in EFT through Alliant International University, LACEFT, NYCEFT, and OCCEFT, and I completed an internship under Tinaz Vevaina, LMFT and certified EFT therapist. I also hold a PhD in Linguistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 
 
For couples in which one person is considering divorce, I also offer Discernment Counseling, giving both people a chance to slow down, take a breath, and look at their options. This process can help both people gain clarity and confidence about a direction, based on a deeper understanding of their relationship and its possibilities for the future. I help them decide whether to try to restore their relationship to health, move toward divorce, or take a time out and decide later. The goal is not to solve relationship problems but to see if they are solvable. Both people are treated with compassion and respect, no matter how they are feeling about the relationship at the moment. I respect their reasons for divorce while trying to open up the possibility of restoring the relationship to health.
