My approach in session:
My practice is informed by client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic thinking.
My formal training:
To become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California it’s required to first complete a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from an accredited and California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) approved university. Upon graduation, it’s required to complete 3,000 hours of experience that is supervised by a LMFT, Psychologist, or Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
My ongoing training:
To maintain my license, I must complete, at minimum, 36-hours of continuing education courses that are approved by the BBS.
Also, as a way to maintain my skills, I consult with other professionals on a regular basis.
