Therapist Overview
Hello and Welcome, if you struggle with getting and/or staying clean and sober, we can examine in more depth what it is that you need to most pay attention to in order to achieve ongoing and successful recovery. In this sense a painful period in life can be an opportunity to reconnect with your whole, with the creative self that embraces all of your potential and need to be fully human. I specialize in psychotherapy and addiction counseling, and am a licensed marriage and family therapist with the Board of Behavioral Sciences in California. I am also a certified drug and alcohol counselor/relapse prevention specialist. I work from a humanistic stance, and am influenced by psychodynamic, solution focused and cognitive behavioral theories. Meeting with me, while talking through and examining your life, both on an inner and outer level, looking at your hopes, thoughts and feelings, and how the past can be affecting your ability to live in the present, can lead to an unfolding of potential and insight and a new way to live. *Inquire with me about possible home visits.
