Here's my Biography.

I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I believe the main goal of therapy is healing, change, and growth; not criticism and condemnation. Therapy is most effective in an accepting, confidential atmosphere where there is mutual exploration of the issues and challenges of life in our complex world. Perhaps we need a new perspective in our way of thinking and our way of behaving in order to more effectively make our way through life's obstacles. Effective therapy is both educational and introspective. I offers faith/Christian based counseling upon request.

I have worked in the mental health field for about nine years. I have worked with individuals struggling with mood and anxiety disorders, somatic disorders, trauma issues, stress management, divorce recovery, anger issues, and grief. I worked with couples and families struggling with conflict, communication challenges, child rearing, and quality of relationship issues.

I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree, from Biola University, in Biblical Theology. I received my Master of Arts degree, from Pepperdine University, in Clinical Psychology. I believe I brings a great deal of life experience to the therapeutic setting. I had a long career in Law Enforcement, retiring as a Police Manager/Lieutenant.
