I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California with ten years of experience working with children, families, teens and individuals experiencing a variety of life’s challenges and mental health issues. Some of my specialities include life transitions, anxiety, depression, issues related to self-esteem, relationship issues, family issues, parenting issues & children with developmental delays. My counseling style is warm, empathetic and interactive. My approach is strength based and combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and solution-focused counseling.

Growth... strength...confidence... resilience. These are things you want more of in your life. Sometimes inner struggles and life situations get in the way of you feeling at your best in your relationships with your partner, your work and your family. When it's time to start looking at what is getting in your way, make the move to finding the support and the solutions you need to take your life from so-so to great!

I have helped numerous couples, individuals & families find happiness, harmony, and coping strategies to life challenges. I use John Gottman's (research based) approach and EFT to help couples understand their strengths & areas that need improvement. By taking an online assessment couples save time & money & I can quickly assess areas of focus & recomend interventions. To help clients with anxiety/depression I challenge distorted beliefs and maladaptive behaviors using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This approach along with other interventions encourages clients to go out of their comfort zone & reduce problamatic symptoms.

I work with adults and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, usually without the use of medication. Intrusive and upsetting thoughts can be so frightening that we feel trapped inside our own minds. It is my goal to help you to regain comfort within yourself. I help many clients manage withdrawal effects from drugs, alcohol, and prescription medication, including antidepressants.

Do you find yourself stuck in a rut? Doing the same things over again, expecting difference results? Do you want to feel free and easy? Strong and confident? Able to be effective, empowered, and create the life you desire, and deserve? I can help. I want you to feel hopeful, to see options and possibilities, to discover who you truly are, and to lead the life you are intended to live. I want to help you believe that you are enough, and you are worthy. Learn to let go of what no longer serves you, and grow.

THANK YOU FOR INQUIRING ABOUT MY PRACTICE AND VISITING MY PROFILE. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM CURRENTLY ONLY PROVIDING TELE-HEALTH SERVICES. Whether you've been in therapy before or this is your first time - seeking assistance and choosing a therapist who is a good match is the first step to improving your quality of life. I offer free telephone consultations to answer your questions, ease your concerns, get a better understanding of your needs, and to determine whether we will be a good fit. I'm committed to helping you improve your life in all areas so that you may have a better/more rewarding quality of life.

My approach is to empathize, affirm, and understand you as deeply as possible. This allows me to choose and customize specific treatment plans that will meet your unique needs. I approach therapy as collaboration with individual clients, couples, and families with the goal of empowerment to confront pain, anxiety, and depression, process trauma and grief, to repair and improve relationships, to develop self-awareness and facilitate personal discovery for achieving growth and desired change.

Every human struggles, and every human deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported while finding their way to a healthy flow. Are you feeling disconnected? Your mental health may seem hard for others to understand, or even for you to understand. Maybe it feels overwhelming to question why you feel this way, or what's actually in your control to change. Maybe the things that get you through aren’t the healthiest for you, and you’re ready to try something different. I'm here to accompany and guide you, whether navigating life transitions, addiction, relationship issues, or managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, Bipolar, or ADHD.

Maybe you've been struggling to feel like yourself for a while now, and have been hesitant to reach out for help. I'm glad you're here. Sometimes life loses its spark and sense of meaning and it's hard to find the way. Life can feel like a heavy burden, with feelings of hopelessness, sadness, or meaninglessness. Maybe you no longer want to participate in the things you once enjoyed. You find yourself isolating, or avoiding life. If you're tired of struggling and feeling bad about yourself and life, I can help. While these circumstances may have been the past, it doesn’t need to be your future.
