FAQs

Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) are psychotherapists and healing arts practitioners licensed by the State of California. To obtain a license, MFTs must satisfy a number of rigorous requirements, including:

• attaining a doctoral or two-year Master’s degree
• passing a comprehensive written examination; and
• completing at least 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience

Beyond the licensing requirements, MFTs have a particular orientation to health and healing that focuses on interpersonal, familial and romantic relationships.

I practice holistic therapy, which is a positive, life-affirming psychology in service to the soul. As a holistic therapist, I believe we all have everything we need inside of us to be whole. At this very moment, you know the path to your own personal fulfillment.

My work is to help you access your internal resources to achieve your goals.

Whether you are seeking individual therapy to tackle depression or anxiety, or you want couples therapy to heal or strengthen your romantic relationship, we work together to create a safe space to explore the blockages preventing a full flowering of your wholeness. We focus on body, mind and spirit to heal the stuck or damaged places using specific healing methods that are right for you. Some of the healing methods I use in my practice, for which I have received specialized training, include:

• Imago Relationship Therapy
• Hypnotherapy
• Guided Visualization
• EMDR

I often think of the work we do together as a process of making fire. Fire is about passion and purpose. Fire lights our way and burns through all the blockages that stand in our path. In holistic therapy, we rediscover and reclaim your fire.

Our sessions together are an opportunity to identify areas where you would like to bring focus and attention. Often, time flies much more quickly than you anticipated—or would like! Typically, our sessions are 50 minutes long.
