I believe people seek therapy when they reach the point of making statements such as, "I need to change", "I'm always sad", "I'm always angry", "I need help understanding why I feel this way", "I don't want to go to school" and "I don't know if I want to be in this relationship". In my opinion, everyone has inherent strengths but sometimes have difficulty accessing the power they have within themselves to succeed in relationships and life's challenges. Therapy can be the missing link to help people heal and live healthy and productive lives.

Most people go through life with a steady routine. Sometimes negative outcomes occur from their daily choices or unforeseen events. Depression, anxiety, irritation, and hopelessness can then set in. My goal is to focus on client needs and empower them by teaching skills and strategies that will allow them to move forward and have a meaningful life.

It is my mission to create a safe and confidential environment in which people can develop greater trust, compassion, clarity, and choice so that they may live with greater meaning, awareness and peace of mind. You can expect to feel safe and not judged, listened to, validated, respected, and challenged to grow with honest feedback, information, and homework. You can also expect to have your successes and deepening sense of personal power celebrated. In addition to in-office meetings, I offer remote Tele-Wellness sessions within California and internationally. For new clients, I offer a free 20-minute introductory meeting.

Are you struggling and not sure how to start feeling better, moving forward or resolving a relationship, work or spiritual challenge? Especially in such an unprecedented time, an integrated counseling approach can help. A holistic approach to psychotherapy considers mental and emotional states, but also how one's physical, energetic and spiritual elements impact current experience. Working with each client in this way, as a whole, the root causes of current challenges become clear. Identifying a client's strengths blended with traditional talk and alternative therapies result in effective and complete healing and resolution.

One of the most important things for parents of pre-teens to remember, is that the biggest motivation for your child's behaviors is attention from you. Your child will try all sorts of things to get and keep your attention, and those behaviors that work will increase while those behaviors that don't will typically go away. Children love and thrive on praise from their parents, but in many cases, those behaviors that yield negative attention from you (such as yelling or punishing) will often reinforce those unappreciated behaviors, as well.

People seek a psychotherapist because they are experiencing emotional distress, often caused by issues related to relationships, family, marital problems, stress, and general dissatisfaction with one's life or work. My job as a psychologist is to find a path leading to both relief of these symptoms and to an understanding of oneself, which together provide for both short term and long term relief from these states. I do this by providing a non-judgmental and supportive therapeutic environment which promotes a deeper understanding and exploration of oneself, with the belief that this increased self-awareness ultimately leads to positive changes and better coping skills.

I understand, it's not always easy to take that first step. Being vulnerable can feel a bit scary--especially if you don't know the person. So let me share a little bit about myself.

I work mostly with adults, couples, and adolescents. As for my clinical orientation, I pull from many disciplines to find just the right fit for my clients' needs. My toolbox includes strategies from EMDR, CBT, Self-Psychology, Inner Family Systems, AEDP, EFT, and Energy Medicine.

Do you ever feel like you have everything and should be more satisfied with your life? Life satisfaction can be illusive when sought through other people's values.

Are you living a life you love, or are you stuck in the familiar “one step forward, two steps back” dance? Life can be colorfully painful, beautifully complicated, and completely overwhelming—and none of us were given a how-to guide. We all experience complicated twists and unexpected turns that cause sadness, worry, anger, and destructive patterns with food, drugs, alcohol, and within our closest relationships. Our lives are too short to lose precious time to unhappiness, feeling hopeless, and being stuck in the same vicious cycles. Therapy can give you a personalized roadmap to help you design a life you love.
