 WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ME TO BE YOUR THERAPIST?

The Intellectual reasons: 

    I hold a Masters' Degree from Pepperdine University.
    I continue my education by reading extensively and attending frequent
    Workshops in my fields of concentration. I studied with Dr. John Gottman at
    the Univ. of Washington. He is an expert researcher in what makes
    marriages succeed or fail. I use techniques based on his findings.

The Emotional reasons:

     My office is a safe place where you can talk and think without fear.
    I hold what you tell me in complete confidence (within the limits set by law).
    I abide by Federal and State regulations to protect your safety.
    I'm a warm and empathetic listener!

  The Financial reasons:

    My fee is low average for Marriage and Family Therapists.
    I'm a provider for most major insurance companies.
