San Marino, CA 91118 (Online Only)
I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Difficulties and Trauma.
My background is in Health Psychology and I bring a Mind-Body perspective to my work. With any change comes growing pains, which is why I specialize in working with professionals navigating important life transitions including career decisions, romantic relationships, friendships, and adjustment to parenthood. Often individuals present questions on how they can feel more fulfilled or satisfied in life. Or how to grow in confidence, or become more grounded in oneself. Many look to find better ways to find meaning and fulfillment in our Modern, Technology-Focused culture.

I believe the in-room relationship created between therapist and client is paramount as a means of change.
I believe compassionate therapy should take place in an atmosphere which is personal, professional, and confidential and for 30 years I have worked with a variety of individuals, couples, and families. If you are reading this it probably means that things are difficult now and you may be struggling. I help with this by enhancing your awareness and esteem through a combination of insight and acceptance. I believe that therapy enriches every aspect of our personal and professional lives. My work with couples focuses upon building intimacy in the relationship by providing tools for communicating, understanding, and working together.

Welcome, and congratulations on taking the first step toward creating change. My motto is "Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light." This can only be accomplished by shedding burdens that weigh you down. I aim to create a compassionate and nurturing environment for personal exploration and healing. I enjoy working with clients who may be apprehensive of mental health services or have had negative experiences with therapy in the past.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
