My Approach to Helping

Are you feeling stuck, unhappy, or grey? Attitude can make a huge difference in influencing events and relationships in your life.

More Info About My Practice

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 45100). I am certified in the treatment of Addictions (CAADE), Domestic Violence and Sexual Trauma (Valley Trauma Center). I am also certified to use Neuro Linguistic Programming. I work with individuals, couples and families; adults, adolescents and children. I often incorporate the principles of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous into my psychotherapy work. Addiction can present in many forms: Drugs, alcohol, prescription medications, food, sex, shopping, gambling, internet. One out of ten persons suffers with an addiction problem. Addiction touches one out of every four families.
