I am a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing counseling services since 1993. I attended my undergraduate and post-graduate school at Chapman University in Orange, California, receiving a M.A. in Counseling Psychology. Prior to entering my full-time practice, I served as an Orange County Deputy Public Guardian, acting as a court investigator and subsequently an LPS Conservator for the chronically mentally ill. I am a co-author of "Conquer Your Fears", (under my maiden name of Armstrong) a highly successful self-improvement workbook, written with E. Wayne Hart, Ph.D. and Diane Craver, M.S. I am a clinical member of both state and local chapters of the California Association of Marriage, Family Therapists. I served as a past Co-Chair of the Public Relations for Orange County California Association of Marriage, and was the former host of the Orange County Register's Relationship Forum/Relationship Stress Category.
My experiences with multi-cultural faith-based traditions give me a deep perspective into human nature. My clinical practice emphasizes healing anxiety, depression, and past traumas, as well as relationship counseling to help my clients live happier lives and create satisfying relationships. I am trained and Certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which assists clients in reprocessing trauma(s).
I am also a wife and mother.
