Counseling and Psychotherapy to Reach Your Highest Potential

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UCLA and my Master's degree in Social Work from CSULB. I have been Licensed by the Board of Behavioral Science Examiners since 2000, and I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. In addition to conducting psychotherapy to individual, couples and families, I have been a guest speaker for several organizations on topics related to Grief and Loss, and I am a Certified Bereavement Counselor. Also, I have had the privilege to provide Critical Incident Response counseling to several corporations in the community due to my specialized training and experience in this area.
About Us
About Us
Before opening up my private practice, I worked as the Director of Bereavement for a Hospice Agency, and I also worked as a Supervisor for therapist interns at a Child and Family Community Agency. Since the inception of my private psychotherapy practice, I was accepted and still serve on the panel as an in-network provider for multiple insurance companies.
Specialties
Through working with a variety of children, adolescent and adult clients over the years, I began focusing on specific areas of interest and gaining further education and experience working in these areas. My specialties include: Anxiety Disorders, Bereavement/Grief, Blended/Step-family challenges, Divorce, OCD, Parenting Skills, Relationships Issues and Self-esteem.
Treatment Approaches: I use an Eclectic approach when treating clients, which means that I utilize different approaches depending on what will be the most beneficial for the particular client and situation. Among the approaches I use the most are:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-This approach involves teaching you how to change your thoughts in order to change your feelings.
ERP-Exposure, response prevention is a specific treatment for children, adolescents and adults who have OCD.
Humanistic-This approach deems unconditional positive regard as paramount to the healing process.
Imago- I use this approach in Couple's treatment to teach couples communication exercises to improve understanding and decrease conflicts.
Mindfulness-I utilize meditation and imagery exercises to help you learn how to stay in the moment, decrease anxiety, relax and improve clarity of mind.
Psychodynamic-This approach involves helping you to gain insight on how past situations relate to current behaviors.
Spirituality-Exploring your personal spiritual and/or religious beliefs and utilizing concepts including: prayer, gratefulness, forgiveness and God have been found to greatly increase success in overcoming addictions, anxiety, depression and OCD as well as other mental health issues.
Fees
Range from $125 to $150 per session depending on time of day and type of therapy.
Most insurances are also accepted.
