As a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I look at the obstacles of each individual as part of the greater context of relationships with intimate partners, family, colleagues, community, culture, and environment. I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. I assist in healing a wide variety of themes including family dynamics, relationships, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, substance abuse, self-harming behaviors, sexuality and gender, grief and loss, managing professional and creative concerns, and personal empowerment.
