Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

My office is located in the Village of Carlsbad and offers a peaceful and comfortable environment to explore issues that are contributing to distress in one's relationships and life. I utilize a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy and have experience working with individuals, children, teens, couples and families. The stresses and challenges facing couples and families today can be overwhelming. Many times learning new and more effective ways to deal with troubling issues can lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life. My approach to therapy helps my clients understand how their beliefs about themselves contribute to the feelings and behaviors that are present in their day to day lives.
