About Dr. Jones
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with 20 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.
I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, family conflicts, grief and loss, anger, career difficulties, and confidence issues.
Many of my clients are professionals facing burnout, imposter syndrome and work performance anxiety, and I especially enjoy working with teens.
I will work with you to meet your unique and specific goals. My therapeutic approach is integrative. I will work with you to tailor our sessions to your specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I will walk with you, support you, and empower you.
