About
Without mincing words, I'm a very good therapist and I love my job. With 16 years experience at 3 clinics and 9 years now in private practice, I've met with such a variety of people in about 34,224 sessions over this time! Educated at Harvard, Penn and CA State Chico, I have remarkable ability to see through a person's upset to your wonderful spirit and strengths. I'm a great detective at identifying the core issues. I'm romantic at heart, so I love getting people through difficult periods to come out shining! I congratulate you for your courage in seeking help. Call Me!
I know personally what people are going through, since my own was a hard childhood in a "dysfunctional" family. I've treated over 2500 families suffering from trauma. I'm specially trained in EMDR, a marvelous approach to healing the effects of trauma - anxiety, depression, bad memories & anger. I also use cognitive-behavioral, family systems, solution focus, mindfulness, meditation and other therapies to drive away stress, anxiety and pessimism. Not to mention my own good humor!
I'm committed to being truly 'present' with you during your sessions - by being deeply aware and caring. My job is to help you rediscover your true goodness, and to find ways to renew your bond if you're a couple or parent & teenager - to find joy again! And if you’re a single person, to renew your bond with yourself!
