Currently FULL. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming. You feel stuck. You want a healthier, more satisfying life story. Reaching out for help takes courage (though you may not feel brave at the moment). My goal is to provide a comforting, accepting environment where you feel safe to share your stories, explore new perspectives on your narrative, discover helpful coping tools, and maximize your strengths. You are the expert in your life, and I have expertise in the counseling process. Together we can find clarity and direction in your story.
LMFT training focuses heavily on systems: the study of the inter-relationships between the self and the world around us. Relationships with families, communities, cultures, etc, are at the core of human psychological well-being. With individual clients, LMFT training allows me to provide deep, meaningful treatment within the context of a client's systems.
I have particular interest in Relationships. Trained in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, I work with couples to address the deeper emotional needs and fears that underlie many marital concerns. I also specialize in Step Families work, helping clients navigate the complex and challenging blended family life.

Merinda is a highly trained EFT and Stepfamily specialist. This is a rare find in counselors. She is an expert at complex families and how they struggle to attach. I would recommend Merinda to my own family. She is wonderful.
