Therapy and Counseling in 90291: Venice, CA.

I consider it a privilege to listen to an individual's story and walk alongside with them, for a while, on their journey through life, helping them reach their full potential.

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.

I provide a family focused approach addressing the complex developmental needs of children, adolescents, and their families in addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral concerns.

I help high-achieving adults and couples who feel trapped in repeated arguments and cycles of stress. With over 26 years of experience, I provide guidance and practical tools to help you feel heard, reconnect, and create calm, meaningful, lasting relationships.

As a Christian I want you to know that I will provide you with compassion, empathy, and encouragement to build a strong therapeutic relationship to foster growth in your personal faith and to resolve issues and problems in your life.

Has your life been affected by a traumatic event in your life, PTSD or anxiety. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve these challenges in your life. I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR practitioner.

I work with a community of therapists committed to the understanding and transformation of emotional life. It is our goal to help people engage in this process through dialogue that is direct and authentic. If not me, I can direct you to one of my colleagues.
