It’s difficult to reach out for help but it’s even harder when you can’t find an affordable provider that is accepting new clients and takes your insurance. We provide psychotherapy and mental health counseling to those suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief and bereavement, and codependency issues. These difficulties are common but treatable and the direct result of difficult life events/triggers we all experience. Our goal is to help you get through the challenges you’re facing and develop healthier coping strategies so you can learn how to live a happier and healthier life.

Low self-esteem, addiction, anxiety, conflict with others, and loss--these can all feel ovewhelming when we deal with them alone. But why be alone? I am here to offer my insight and undertanding based on over twenty years of experience and training. I have worked with men and women with depression, chronic physical and mental illness, PTSD, chemical dependency, and much more. Since everyone is unique, I try to gear the treatment to each person's needs--it's not a one size fits all proposition--and work on the goals we create together.

You CAN heal... and have healthier thoughts, behavior and relationships! I specialize in treating severe anxiety, family therapy, phase of life transitions and Christian counseling. Finding the right therapist is essential to a positive and successful therapy experience. I offer genuine care and honesty to provide a nurturing environment where you can grow. Change requires intentional effort and willingness to try new approaches. If you are ready to learn and work, we will determine your therapy goals together and develop a plan to reach them. Please contact me for a free consultation.

I am currently accepting new clients for weekly appointments. I utilize a trauma-informed approach and mindfulness in my practice as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and several other interventions to cope with a wide range of challenges including trauma, life stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidal ideation, ADHD symptoms, career issues, etc. I approach therapy with compassion, understanding, empathy, and strength-based practices.

When you experience a significant trauma or many cumulative smaller traumas it can feel like you may never heal. Big life changes and stressors can feel overwhelming and bring on high levels of Anxiety and/or Depression. Being a young adult finding your identity and your voice can make life feel impossible and you feel worthless. My expertise is trauma, particularly sexual assault as well as working with young adults struggling with transitions, self-esteem, and family dynamics.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is your stress getting in your way? Do you need to talk to someone who won't judge you?

Your therapy is your journey of self-discovery to enable you to make informed decisions, to re-educate yourself, and even to re-parent yourself. It is similar to mountain climbing where a guide is exceedingly helpful. A therapist is like a Sherpa; he carries what may be too heavy to carry, sometimes he walks ahead to clear the path but often he follows your lead, after all it is your journey. When you are on your journey and you feel the need for a guide, a Sherpa to facilitate your journey, I may be of assistance.

When you find a therapist who understands who you are, can support you, and has extensive experience, therapy is an opportunity to grow and develop to your fullest potential. Together, we can work to bring you to your goals and resolve self doubts and/or concerns that are impeding your progress. I offer therapy services to older adults, adults, teens, young children, infants and parents. In addition, I have specialized in Women's Issues, Feminist therapy, Trauma, and am Certified as an Infant - Parent and Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist.

I take an active, supportive approach to therapy. 20 years in practice with Adults, Teens, Couples, and Families. If you're like most of my clients, some days are good; some days are full of doubt; rethinking and overthinking situations. You may feel torn about big choices in relationships or situations at work. Taking steps from a place of confidence comes from clarity! Specialties: Couples Counseling, and Teens/ Tweens.

Hello! I am currently only offering sessions via Telehealth (online video/phone) across the state of California. I welcome motivated individuals who are ready to go on a journey of healing, self-discovery, & personal growth. I have a strong passion working with college students, adults, & the older adult/elderly community. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress or working on your self-esteem, anger management, or communication skills, I am here to create a safe, comfortable, & non-judgmental environment for you to open up & be vulnerable.

My goal as a psychologist is to help people work through difficulty using all forms of treatment options and modalities. I draw from my own multitude of experiences incorporated with a comprehensive work and educational background. I work on all levels of consciousness and being. I believe humans have an unlimited capacity to change and persevere if they are willing.

None of us enter this world with a User's Manual. When something goes wrong in our lives, where can we turn for help? I sometimes think of psychotherapy as an IT helpdesk for mental health related "technical problems." My approach is kind and gentle; only in a warm and safe environment are we free explore our problems and develop solutions.

My ideal clients are individuals who are retired or near retirement who are facing changes or have professional or lifestyle issues they need to address. For over 20 years my referrals have come primarily from surgeons and physicians with patients facing orthopedic issues such as neck and back injuries, knee replacements and sciatica or other forms of nerve pain as well as life threatening diseases such as cancer and diabetes. A significant portion of my career has been in the field of pain management, counseling clients who have psychological issues such as anxiety and depression.

You have started the search for support and are now faced with choosing a therapist to begin the healing process. It is important to not only work with an experienced credentialed therapist, but one you feel empathy and care from. One size does not fit all as people's needs are different, and many times can change. For some, I am "the one who finally listens & doesn't judge", helping to unwind feelings of shame and faulty childhood criticisms, while helping to replace them with a realistic, constructive self-appraisal.

Art Therapy: where Psychotherapy and Creativity Converge Words are our primary method of communication, but often words can not express the complexity of our internal and emotional lives. The process of art-making provides us with a means to our subconscious that is unrefined and uncensored. As an Art Therapist, I use art-making as well as verbal therapy to help my clients overcome obstacles in their lives. My clients are not artists, but they do paint, draw and sculpt as expression. It is about the process, not the final product. Plus, being creative is therapeutic, in and of itself.

I believe each of us is unique. Therefore, in my practice as a licensed clinical psychologist my initial goal is to get to know you so we can, in collaboration, find the best strategies to help you live your life in the way that is most satisfying to you. As a cognitive behavior therapist, it is my goal to be the guide, along with you, to reach your goals by looking at any maladaptive habits, thoughts, or behaviors you have developed that brought you in to therapy.

Sometimes we all need a little assistance to navigate through life's challenging moments. I equip couples, individuals, and families with the necessary tools to unblock the pathway to a more enriching and fulfilling quality of life. Whether it is depression, anxiety, relational issues, or increasing one's creative potential, I provide a plan that is custom designed to meet your individual needs.
