Education, License and Work Experience
I hold a B.A. degree in Economics from Mt. St. Mary's University, Brentwood California and a M.S. in Counseling Psychology from California State University Northridge.
I am licensed in the state of California as a Marriage Family Therapist and I am also a hypnotherapist trained by the prestigious Hypnosis Motivational Institute in Tarzana, California
I was an intern at Tarzana Treatment Center treating dual diagnosis patients that were alcoholic and drug addicted. I have been in private practice since 1997 working with issues I have had myself. I have worked for BetterHelp since April 2021
Personal Experience
I have been clean and sober for 36 years and I have not smoked a cigarette in 35 years. I am also in recovery from codependency and love addiction. I have experienced anxiety, depression and panic attacks myself. I am what some people call a " wounded healer". I have been in the client's chair and I know how much courage it takes to begin one's healing journey and how much perseverance it takes to continue. I have changed for the better and I believe that I can help you to change for the better. You are worth it. Your mental health is as important as you physical health and many times the mind can affect the body. The best day to start your journey of change is today. I would be honored to journey with you.
