As a family therapist, my background in family systems approach was the foundation of my studies at San Diego State University in the 1980’s. Upon graduation, I was privileged to study and practice solution-focused and narrative therapies with some of the founding members in the early 1990’s like Insoo Kim Berg and Michael White. I have an extensive background in chemical dependency. I have directed several drug abuse facilities in San Diego in the 80's and 90's. I also work with addictions other than drugs and alcohol. I also work with Sex Addiction, Gambling Addiction, and Eating Disorders. When the addictions are stabilized, I continue the therapeutic process working on PTSD issues, Anxiety, and Depression.
