"Live your best life because you only get one. If you feel that anxiety, self-worth, trauma, and/or unresolved issues get in the way of you living a happy life, then reach out to me today to take back control. I provide a collaborative approach in therapy. I believe the real magic happens outside of the office so I give individualized "homework" to each client. Homework is intended to push clients outside of their comfort zones, where healing and growth can begin to take place. Please note: I do not treat depression. Additional details can be found on my website. Proud to be voted in the top 10 therapists in Long Beach on Yelp! "

"I am deeply passionate about the work I do with individuals, couples, and families. I approach every case with hope and optimism that positive change can occur while I also recognize how biological and social factors contribute to mental health struggles. Therapy is the place to set yourself free and to explore old wounds and patterns that interfere with the present.

I am compassionate, yet direct in my approach, and I believe the therapeutic relationship is the best tool to facilitate change."

"I am a licensed psychologist conducting therapy and counseling. I specialize in working with adults. I have specialties in the areas of grief, traumas, depression and anxiety however have seen clients for a variety of issues. My primary approach to therapy is based on an insight-oriented relational model to treatment however, I supplement my work with Somatic Experiencing, a trauma treatment informed by the mind and body connection. My clinical work is informed by the understanding that a therapeutic relationship can help restructure one's internal emotional world and cognitive functioning, which is supported by attachment and neuropsychology research."

"I love to help people who are ready and willing to explore troublesome repetitive patterns in relationships. With mindfulness and effort, we will work collaboratively to acknowledge these patterns and replace them with healthier, more satisfying ways of understanding your behavior and managing life stressors. I use a client-centered, strength-based, and relational approach to therapy. In my experience, healing doesn't happen when we have all the answers. It happens when we are ready to face the questions we have been avoiding."

"As a therapist, my goal is to treat you as the expert in your own life and offer guidance and support along your journey towards wellness. I am often a very curious person so I approach all sessions with an open mind and curiosity about your own perspective and experience. I prefer to go on a journey with you through your process. While I respect each person's individual journey, I am very comfortable asking difficult questions and challenging you on your thoughts, beliefs, and actions. I do so in a caring manner always taking into account how the interaction will benefit you."

"Is this you? All we do is fight! It seems like we never hear each other and neither of us listens anymore! It is so frustrating I do not want to come home and try. I have been successfully helping couples to develop the tools necessary to communicate effectively for more than 20 years. Having disagreements is not unusual. Learning how to resolve disagreements is a key element to healthy relationships. Conflict resolution is about learning to fight fairly by listening in an atmosphere of Respect, Trust, Safety and love and not placing my desire to be right over the relationship. Call/email $150 per 50-minute session."

"We all deserve to feel good about ourselves. During times of stress feelings of anxiety and sadness can be overwhelming and lessen ones sense of self worth. Therapists assist in restoring emotional balance and feelings of well being, by listening, identifying patterns of destructive thoughts, and helping to build more effective thought patterns and coping mechanisms. It is a process that requires openness, patience, and kindness with one's self. Feeling safe with one's therapist is vital. The most important quality, may be the experience of being valued, accepted and understood. The therapeutic relationship becomes a foundation for change."

"Sometimes it feels like few can relate to what we're going through. "Just stop thinking about it," while well-intentioned, often invalidates a valiant attempt at gaining support. If only it were really that easy to be rid of the anxiety, fear, shame, moodiness, self-doubt, flashbacks, and so on, caused by life events that didn't go quite right. I recognize that it can be frustrating to feel unheard and misunderstood; it may even lead to thinking that you're the only one experiencing this. It takes bravery to persevere and seek further support, and I applaud you for taking this first step."

"Recovering from loss is painful. Loss of a loved one, a relationship, health...there are many different losses in life. I can help. With 20 years as a therapist, including 12 years of Hospice and a Grief Recovery certified Specialist, I have a deep appreciation of the challenges associated with life' losses. Starting with my years working with Adult Survivors of Sexual Abuse and facilitating groups of both Survivors and those suffering from Domestic Violence, I have since worked with families in crisis and individuals challenged with various debilitating issues."

"Everyone gets anxious, depressed, and stressed. If we’re too busy to deal with our emotional stuff, we may set it aside, shut off our feelings & keep going. This may work well in business and crisis, but in the long run, it's damaging to our health. Talking to friends and family can help initially, but we sometimes feel like we are a burden or that they just don’t understand. I will collaborate with you and provide guidance so you can better understand the underlying issues that are negatively affecting your life. My goal as your therapist is to provide a genuine experience to help you develop the skills necessary to succeed. "
