Nice to Meet You
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I obtained my Masters and Bachelor degrees in Psychology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. For the past 19 years, I have been providing services to Adolescents, adults, and couples. I commend you on making the decision to begin counseling. Life brings many ups and downs and every single person can benefit from therapy. It takes a great deal of strength to recognize those times when you may need some extra help. My goal in treatment is to provide a safe place to give you the support you need to face those challenging times and help you learn how to get through them in a healthy, positive way that will lead to a more fulfilling life. Every client will receive treatment that best suits their needs, but my therapeutic style tends to be cognitive-behavioral or solution focused. I enjoy working with clients to discover how negative patterns of thinking can lead to problematic behaviors and how changing the way we think can change behaviors. I also work with clients to identify their strengths and coping skills to assist them in managing everyday stress. Being a therapist is my passion and I enjoy learning each individual's story. I have enjoyed a career working with individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger difficulties, ADHD, parenting issues, family conflicts, divorce, Abuse (Physical, Sexual, etc.), and the everyday stresses of life. I look forward to working with you and supporting you through any challenge that you may face.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our
office requires two
full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your
appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee.
Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days
(i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to
change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the
preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation
fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist,
or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If
you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may
be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your
insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too
little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late
cancellation policy.
