Welcome! I began working with children, adults, and families over 30 years ago as a social worker and have been providing psychotherapy services in the North County since 2003. My unique approach to psychotherapy combines multiple styles and techniques both traditional and holistic that will help you balance your mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in the treatment of psychological/emotional trauma. Emotional trauma is the result of an extraordinary stressful event/s that voids you of your sense of self, safety, trust, well-being, and control. Trauma recovery is possible - start your journey to healing today.
My goal is to provide you a unique and positive therapeutic experience in a safe environment that will facilitate healing, well-being, and growth. A wise healer once said: ... "heal the past, script your future, and live in the present".... Namaste
