Begin Your Journey to Change

I truly believe in Lao Tzu's saying, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."  This first step is often the most difficult to take, but I am here to help you on the journey to the life you want.  I offer individual, couple's, children and family counseling to address mental healh distress, behavioral issues, and communication problems that are holding you back.  Scheduling a free phone consultation with me is the first step in the right direction.

ABOUT ME
As a proud member of the Coachella Desert Community, I believe it is important that people have a network of support.  I have lived in the Valley for eleven years, and I have grown to love this close-knit community.  I have over ten years of therapeutic experience in addressing teen and children's home and school behavioral problems.  I assist individuals of all ages in reducing or eliminating distress from issues with anxiety, depression and trauma.  I offer future focused, talk therapy with the goal of assisting you or your child in finding replacements for unwanted behaviors and making better life-choices.  Since this process allows for finding healthy replacements rather then just elimination, it allows for the best chance for long-term success.
EDUCATION
  1. 2009
    Argosy University
    I hold an MA In Psychology with a focus on Counseling. I received an excellent education from professors who were practicing therapists and psychologists. My year-long practicum was spent working with at-risk and high-need clients, which was great preparation for my ten year career in behavioral health with Pacific Clinics, one of the oldest and well respected organizations in the country.
  2. 2004
    Scripps College Claremont
    I had the privilege of receiving the education for my BA in Philosophy from the schools of the Claremont Consortium. The focus of my Senior Thesis was addressing Topics in Self-Deception, which looks at why it is that we all tend to engage in acts of deceiving ourselves, often to our serious detriment. This led to my interest in psychology and the desire to help others change the thoughts and behaviors that are having a negative impact on life.
