| Practice Description: |
I am dedicated to my profession and to each of my clients. One of my main goals is to bring you practical, affordable, and effective therapy. Most people are seeking help because they feel "stuck in a feeling of pain and confusion" and they want insight so that they can feel better quickly.
My approach to therapy is "Client-Centered and Solution Based Therapy". I believe relief and change comes from awareness, compassion, non-judgment, and empowerment. I will help you sort through your challenges and lay the foundation for a more enriching and manageable life. Many of my clients have said they had instant relief when they were able to sort through their problems and developed a workable plan.
I have a strong background and experience in working with people experiencing relationship issues, pre-marital, marital, and divorce issues. I have worked with the Martinez Family Court, Child Family Services, and Family Law Attorneys. I am on the the referral list through the Martinez Family Court offering co-parent counseling and individual therapy.
Besides private practice I have or am currently providing my services to these organizations:
*STAND Against Domestic Violence (Providing therapy for children, adults, and families)
*Martinez Probate Court: Providing high conflict family mediations
*Martinez Family Court: Co-parent counseling to parent after divorce
*Kid's Turn: Facilitate divorce support to children and families going through divorce
*Martinez Adult Education: Teach classes on conflict resolution, divorce recovery, parenting, and personal growth.
My primary professional goal is to empower every individual by offering them affordable, practical, and solution-based therapy. Many of my client have reported "feeling empowered and happier" after several sessions.

| Additional Comments: |
Pain is the impetus to change. Depression, fear, worry, hopelessness, and anger are some of the most common symptoms clients express. Many people have a hard time reaching out for help, but it can be the best way to relieve the pain and begin working through your problems. You deserve to have the life you want. |
