About My Clients

My passion is helping people through transitions. From late teens and early twenties striving to find their place in this world or trying not to drop out of college. As we age we realize distress does not end so I welcome those of you that feel stuck. My goals are to help process what is hindering you from also living your best life. I take an individualized approach but lean upon cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy with a strength based, person-centered approach.

My Background and Approach

I have a long history of working in schools, residential treatment facilities, crisis centers, managing non-profits and county behavioral health programs but am at my favorite place in life holding down my amazing private practice and doing consulting work. I am licensed in California, Colorado and Florida at the moment and will be adding more states in 2025.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Change can happen. If you remind yourself 100 percent of every obstacle that comes your way, you have gotten through. Maybe not always smooth or without pain, but you will. Let me help you with tools that I use in my day-to-day to get through those times we feel stuck.
