One of the bravest things you can do is ask for help. Imagine traveling on a path and not knowing where you are headed. I imagine you might feel lost, afraid, alone, and unsure of which way to go. Perhaps you have suffered from uncontrollable worry, depression, or loss. Know that you are not alone. Discovering your inherent gifts, strengths and weaknesses, and setbacks can lead to healing for now, for tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. 

What if you had a travel partner to help support and navigate life's road map? I want to join you on this journey of self-discovery. Help you achieve optimum wellness, not defined by what I think but rather by you. Discovering that you need therapy is the first leg of your journey. Looking for a therapist is like finding a great pair of shoes. Once you try them and they feel comfortable, you know you have found a good fit. Try at least three therapists and see who feels comfortable, safe, and supportive; then, you will have discovered your excellent pair of shoes. 

Finding a therapist who can be real, honest, isn’t discouraged by what you might say, and has your best interests in mind is the second leg of the journey. I am currently licensed in California as an LMFT. I have been practicing as a therapist for more than 10 years. I have experience working with individuals, families, and adolescents on a variety of life issues, such as addiction, depression, anxiety, mood regulation, anger, relationships, and trauma.
