Seeking therapy takes a great deal of courage and finding a therapist who is the right fit for you can seem overwhelming. Congratulations on taking that first step. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families in private practice and am excited at the possibility of working with you. I believe it is vital to focus on the importance of building a therapeutic relationship while utilizing a healing-oriented approach that takes into account the whole person. By doing so, we are able to address the full range of physical, emotional, social, spiritual and environmental influences.

I love working with women who want to move beyond trauma, anxiety, narcissistic abuse (parent/authoritarian only-not romantic) and love working with women who have children or adult children with exceptional needs. I believe that with effort, consistency and the right tools, people can not just survive but thrive. I am licensed in both California and Arizona. I am a international Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy therapist, having completed extensive training at Oxford University in England. I have been a therapist for over 35 years and I have trained in many, many modalities.

Taking the first step toward getting help is the hardest part and I understand that. I have overcome many obstacles in life and am grateful to now be in a position to help others. I focus on providing a safe environment in order to help you speak freely, share your story, ask any questions, and face all issues that arise. I am open-minded, nonjudgemental, and eclectic in my approach. In beginning this inquiry, today you are one step closer to finding answers and solutions. Whether you are feeling down, anxious, confused, have relationship issues, or just want to grow emotionally and learn more about yourself, therapy can help.

Does anxiety keep you from living the life you want? Do you often feel overwhelmed, confused, or on edge and don’t know how to calm yourself? It can feel frustrating when you’ve tried many things to get rid of your anxiety and you just can’t seem to shake it off. Often this can lead you to feeling stuck. If this is you, then you’ve come to the right place. Let me be your guide towards a balanced life and overall mental wellness.

****CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS *** I know sometimes it’s hard to shut off that voice in your head that says you’re not good enough. I also know the stories that we tell ourselves about who we are are (usually) a bunch of bullshit...but even bullshit stories have a powerful effect on you. I want to help you create a more accurate story about yourself. But guess what? That’s not something you can do alone. If you want help managing your addiction recovery, improving communication, walking through trauma, managing anxiety/perfectionism issues or are having difficulties with your relationships, I can walk you through it.

Not finding answers or feeling stuck can leave us helpless and hopeless. Sometimes we need a safe place to express and explore our innermost parts to access the answers we seek. My preferred approach is insight-oriented and person-centered. I want to help you gain greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love. A better understanding of how our past has shaped our present can encourage us to become empowered. Together we can make the change to become ‘unstuck’.

Money, vacations and good food can make us happy, but how long does this feeling last? Sustainable happiness comes from within, unobstructed by past injuries and external influences. When we operate disconnected from our inner wellbeing, we feel lost, unsatisfied, depressed, anxious...the list goes on. As your therapist, our purpose is to nurture and witness your journey back to your true essence and to facilitate a process that will lead you to a life of wellness and authenticity.

I work with children and teens individually and in the context of their families. Parents who want help for their children may be called on to examine their own childhood and how it can affect current relationships with family members.

I believe that developing a trusting relationship with your therapist is essential. My training and experience have created the fostering of the origins of trauma and how it can affect all areas of functioning. I use trauma-informed approaches and am both a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified Therapist. These modalities are instrumental in reducing the effects that long term and chronic tension, trauma, and anxiety can create in our daily lives.

Working with individuals and couples is my passion. Couples who have lost their connection, their intimacy, their ability to have fun together, individuals who feel lost and empty; couples who yearn for that connection they once had, but just need some tools to get back there. Being able to assist these clients in these areas is something that I have been doing for over 17 years in a number of various settings which include psychiatric inpatient, court mandated clients, intensive outpatient, etc. This variety of experience over the years has been a blessing to be able to bring more tools to my clients of today.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
