ABOUT ME
I am a marriage and family therapist (MFT) based in Long Beach, California who specializes in working with adult professionals at all stages of their career and phase of life challenges.
I provide a compassionate and caring environment for us to work together so that healing and growth can take place at your own pace. Treatment ranges from short-term counseling to longer-term psychotherapy depth work. As a trained-EMDR therapist I offer this transformative modality to Clients seeking to heal trauma. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for over 25 years as a business executive, and offer a unique ability to support Clients who are struggling with workplace challenges as well as business partners who may be struggling with communication challenges.
Whether the therapy is short- or long-term, I take a humanistic approach, respecting and supporting your own inner wisdom to know what is right for your growth and healing.
