Thank you for visiting my site. I am a
Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in the State of California with National
Certification in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Domestic Violence Counseling and
Forensic Counseling. My training and experience span nearly a decade of
work with high-conflict, culturally diverse families in the emotionally charged
areas of Family Law and Dependency Law. Currently a private practitioner,
I also have many years of experience as a Dependency Investigator for Children's
Services in the counties of Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo.
As a child advocate, I began specializing in
assisting families caught-up in litigation because I recognized that they are a
grossly underserved population under extreme emotional stress. The process
of litigation itself, often serves to deepen already painful wounds, leaving
families with little recourse for healing.
Even after a couple has decided to separate
and divorce, there is an emotional tie to one another. This is especially
true when there are children. When emotionally charged issues remain
unresolved, the scenario is often one of hurt and anger, with the children
ending up caught in the crossfire. With therapeutic intervention, it is
possible to reduce conflict and guide families and individuals through the
transition process, so that they can go on with their lives. I have an
excellent track record working with families of divorce. Whether
in a group or individual setting, the success rate is very high with treatment
often leading to settlement and resolution in both the personal and legal
arenas.
