Discover Practical Solutions: Counseling Services in California

 Through therapy you will learn how to take care of you, listen to your body and heart so that you can ignite the desire to make a change. In my therapy sessions, I lead away from "problem talk" to "solution talk" using a solution focused brief therapy approach. I strongly believe this approach takes less time, saves money, and gets to your desired outcomes for therapy sooner. On average my clients find that 12 weeks of weekly online therapy or in-person counseling is sufficient to reach their goals. In other words, I don't expect you to be here forever- we want to get you change and get you graduated!
