I
am a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern and earned my Master of Arts
in Marriage and Family Therapy at Western Seminary in Sacramento. I have
worked with couples and individual clients seeking breakthroughs with
depression, posttraumatic stress, life transitions, grief and loss, and
spirituality. My desire is to provide a nonjudgmental, safe, and compassionate therapeutic relationship with each of my clients. I
served in the military for twenty-four years and can relate to some of
the challenges faced by today's military members and their families.
