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

My Approach to Helping

I am dedicated to helping people make the changes that they want in their lives and to supporting people as they heal and grow. Sometimes, situations in life can feel difficult or painful. Talking about your thoughts and feelings often lessens the pain. Therapy offers a safe environment where you can work through issues, find solutions, and build on your current skills and strengths.

People tell me that I am compassionate and easy to talk to. I use a variety of approaches that are positive, solution-focused, and strengths-based.

 

More Info About My Practice

Many insurance policies (PPO or POS plans) include the option of seeing a therapist who is out-of-network. If your insurance covers out-of-network providers, you may be able to get reimbursed from your insurance company. If you think you might want to seek reimbursement, talk with me about this option in the beginning of therapy.

I accept checks, cash, and most credit cards.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. LMFTs work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families.

Call me at (831) 419-2019 or email me to ask any questions or to schedule an appointment. I offer a free phone consultation to give you a chance to ask questions, better understand how I work, and decide if we are a good fit.
