Philosophy and Approach: I work as a Relationship Specialist which means that I work exclusively with couples, relationships, and marriages. I believe that with education, practice, patience, and compassion every couple can reach an optimum state of relational health. To support couples, relationships, and marriages I employ a focused approach with a strong reliance on evidence-based therapies, mindfulness-based therapies, acceptance and commitment-based therapies, intimacy-based therapies, and sexuality-based therapies.
Formal Education and Training: I hold a PhD, LMFT in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA and I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from John F. Kennedy University in Berkeley, CA. My education included both coursework and supervised training related to individuals, children, couples, families, and groups. My emphasis was children, families, and couples. My post graduate education and training emphasis has been, and continues to be, couples, relationships, and marriage.
