I currently serve as a child/adolescent/adult therapist with Innovative Counseling working with clients
of all backgrounds and ages and walks of life. I employ a humanistic person centered, multicultural,
experiential and practical approach to help clients gain a better awareness of their hurdles in life along
with the courage and strength to overcome them. My past training experiences involve working with
women’s issues (divorce, miscarriages, transitions) and with various individuals/ subsystems nested
within meaningful broader systemic milieus such as families to deal with a myriad of life challenges
including depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse. I have worked within the broader systemic
context of high conflict divorce and other life cycle adjustments such as addition of biological family
members as well as blended family issues. I have also worked on the educational level within various
school districts, helping parents and children, including those considered neurodivergent and
behaviorally/emotionally challenged) to work together in a secure and positive way to accomplish
standards of learning excellence. I hold a Bachelor’s/Master’s in Clinical Psychology and Marriage and
Family Therapy, as well as a Ph.D. in Counselor Education. I believe in working holistically in conjunction
with families and their subsystems (couples, children) to help them achieve and sustain their vision of a
healthy and productive life.
