I appreciate the courage it takes for someone to seek therapy and ask for help. Even though it can be an uncomfortable process at the beginning, psychotherapy can be an extremely rewarding experience. I try my best to provide you with a very safe and supportive environment and to work collaboratively with you on raising your awareness about your process and helping you improve your quality of life. I am certified in Gestalt Therapy by the Gestalt Associates Training Los Angeles (GATLA) so I integrate gestalt therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in my work with you.

There are times in our lives when we are challenged by circumstances that seem too great to navigate and bear alone. The corona virus is truly one of these times. I am offering tele-therapy through video or the phone to those who need extra support during these uncertain time. I am a trauma specialist and understand how addictions and other self-destructive behaviors mask pain. To interact with another person who can respond appropriately and share your concerns and emotional experiences can bring about meaningful life changes.

I believe when we gain insight and understanding about what we are experiencing, learn effective strategies to challenge our symptoms, and have the right support, we can take back our lives and things CAN get better.

Reaching out for help can feel like a matter of life and death. You might delay the call, hoping that whatever is wrong will go away. Unfortunately, profound suffering usually can’t be wished away. It needs to be confronted directly. Though perhaps not obvious, suffering internally or in your relationships may be an expression of unresolved childhood wounds. Now is the time to heal those wounds and reclaim your authentic self.

The decision to engage a therapist is deeply personal and may seem challenging.

It takes real courage to stop pretending you have it all together and shake hands with deep sadness or childhood trauma. I believe many emotions serve as flags indicating an opportunity for us to learn and gain more understanding about ourselves. Whether you are dealing with disappointment, sorrow, conflict, resentment, depression or anxiety, exploration of these tender spots can be a path to growth and change. Therapy can provide a meaningful relational setting where your unique experience and feelings can be expressed and understood, thereby increasing your ability to face life's inevitable challenges.

As a parent/caregiver, a certain level of stress is normal, however when your stress level becomes unmanageable, it is time to seek professional support.
