About Me
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual and couples therapy in Ventura, California. My license number is 49429.
I am a solution-oriented therapist. My approach is to provide support, insight and practical feedback to help you respond to life's challenges quickly. With empathy, warmth, and humor, I help individuals and couples build on their natural strengths to attain the peace of mind, self confidence, improved relationships and overall well-being they want in their lives.
I have over eight years experience as a therapist. I am a graduate of Pacifica Graduate Institute with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, specializing in Depth Psychology. I am also certified in equine assisted therapy through EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association).
My areas of expertise are:
- Change: creating it and coping with it
- Relationships (spouse, family, friends, coworkers)
- Depression
- Anxiety and fear
- Grief and loss
- Overcoming childhood traumas
- Conflict resolution
