Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
I am a Marriage Family Therapist and Registered Nurse. I have been in psychotherapy practice for over 20 years. Prior to private practice I worked in mental health as a psychiatric nurse, taught communication, and worked in general health care. In the evolvement of my own professional development, I've always considered it a privilege to work with individuals, couples, and families in the sacred place of personal disclosure, inquiry, discovery and change. In conjunction with client goals, I work eclectically and utilize a number of therapeutic models. These models I incorporate within the mind, body, spirit context. Holding deep appreciation for the human experience; I am aware that each individual story and journey reveals the richness of life, as well as the bravery, compassion, and love of the human heart. My intention is to facilitate individual freedom from constraints of the past, present and future. I facilitate learning to transcend the problem-orientation/negative projections of the mind. I support freedom to be one's self, to make autonomous choices, and to live a life in present time that one truly desires and deserves.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Walnut Creek, CA

At the core of many personal issues lie old messages of your sense of worth. Those messages conveyed to you while growing-up that minimized your self-esteem. The journey inward toward your past can often be frightening and disheartening. By slowly revisiting the wounded part of yourself, old repetitive behaviors can cease to exist. A new sense of kindness toward yourself will begin to emerge. Allow me to travel with you to discover what is buried deep inside of your soul, exploring what keeps you from becoming all that you want to be.
