My Approach to Helping

ANGRY? SAD? LONELY? Stressed, worried, or confused? Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? I CAN HELP.

Call 310.833.9300 (San Pedro) or 310.373.3420 (Torrance) now or check out my websites at www.peninsulafwc.com and www.thehelpshop.org.

With more than a decade of experience I'm practical, interactive, and effective. My treatment blends both conventional and alternative approaches and embraces an array of styles and techniques, personally tailored for you.

I work with adults, teens, kids, couples, families, and groups. Concerns include anger, stress, depression, anxiety, abuse, low self-esteem, grief/loss, marital counseling and relationship issues, sexual and communication problems, LGBTQ support, aging, parenting skills, and life transitions, among others.

People have the strength and resilience to change. I am confident that with awareness, acceptance, and action you too can create the changes you want toward a happier, healthier you. Integrating insight, guidance, and clinical expertise I can help you build on your strengths to resolve challenges and achieve life goals. Therapy can be an empowering and life-changing experience.

Life is a journey and every journey begins with a single step in the right direction. If you're ready for the help and healing you need to begin your journey and want to welcome hope and health into your life, call now.

YOU CAN DO IT, AND I CAN HELP.
