MSW, LCSW
Both In-person and Virtual Therapy appointments are available.
I know you’re struggling.
Depression, anxiety and chronic relationship problems are constant companions that you suffer from nearly every day.
You may worry that your life will never improve.
You have tried and tried to turn your life around, but nothing has helped – or at least not nearly enough.
The pain and turmoil continue, regardless of what you do.
You feel trapped.
AND yet, you long for relief from your suffering.
The good news is that therapy can give you the relief that you’ve hoped for…
The above problems can be caused by any number of traumatic events or series of disturbing events that may have occurred in your childhood or adult life.
In childhood you might have experienced childhood neglect, abandonment, or physical or sexual abuse.
Your struggles may also be due to distressing events that occurred in adulthood, such as being the victim of a crime (e.g., physical or sexual assault), war trauma, a natural disaster, or a serious accident.
Therapy can help decrease or eliminate the symptoms that are troubling you.
It may be hard to believe right now, but your life can be better.
You don’t have to struggle any longer.
I’m one of the few therapists in Southern California with over 40 years of experience helping people heal severe emotional and psychological problems that they’ve not been able to overcome.
To the best of my knowledge, I’m the only therapist in the Santa Clarita Valley who has the extensive amount of training and experience in trauma and PTSD recovery that I have.
I am a Certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapist who has been using this powerful therapy since 2003.
EMDR is backed by research showing that it is highly effective at resolving the most severe and deeply-rooted problems.
I also utilize two approaches called the Community Resiliency Model® (CRM) and Trauma Resiliency Model® (TRM). They’re skills-based biological approaches that help individuals and communities bring their mind and body back into balance after a traumatic event. Moreover, I teach both CRM and TRM to other therapists, service providers, and community leaders.
As an EMDR Approved Consultant and a TRM Consultant I also provide consultations to therapists who use these treatment approaches with their clients.
I’m a compassionate and caring therapist who would be honored to help you move from stress and struggle to a more peaceful, fulfilling and rewarding life.
Imagine feeling calmer, more relaxed, and more in control of your life.
Imagine having closer and more meaningful relationships.
Imagine achieving the life goals you only dreamed about in the past.
