*Virtual for all CA, in-person office opening soon in Palm Springs, CA* I hope to meet you where you are and journey with you towards your therapeutic goals. Are you wanting to change unhealthy life patterns? Are you stressed or dealing with the effects of anger or anxiety? Maybe life is just really tough right now. Let us sit together and discover new ways of coping based on your strengths and write the story of "you" that you prefer. Your personal story matters and I strive to be aware and considerate of the ways every-day life intersects with who YOU are, and work with you towards life satisfaction.

My style as a therapist is warm, engaged, conversational, and collaborative. I use a variety of clinically sound therapeutic techniques that are holistically oriented and effective. I believe it's necessary and important to understand the meaning we make of things and to pay close attention to the stories we tell ourselves. Shifting our perception opens up the solutions and possibilities that may have been there all along, but we were in too much pain to see. When emotional pain is relieved, I believe our capacity for healing grows and we have renewed vitality, a sense of peace, and greater clarity.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, problems in a significant relationship, or are at a critical juncture in your life - talking with a therapist can help. The key is finding a therapist that is right for you. I enjoy working with individuals, ranging in age from young adult to elder, as well as couples. I have extensive experience working with clients with life-altering health issues including cancer and HIV. I am also very sensitive to the issues and concerns of the LGBTQ community.

Finding the ideal psychologist is the most important part of the therapeutic process. In addition to being a licensed Psychologist, I have received additional training in EMDR therapy for trauma as well as non-opiate approaches to pain management. I have worked with individuals seeking recovery from drug and alcohol addiction as well as couples and families. I have also worked with individuals who are just looking to navigate the storm, short term therapy to see them through a specific challenge or to gain insight and a new perspective on what may be a long standing issue.

' We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are...' Our early life experiences influence and often determine present day behaviors - some productive and successful, some painful and self-defeating. I help my clients gain understanding and insight into how negative patterns develop. Together we uncover the underlying causes of thoughts and behaviors that may no longer be serving them. They then begin to make changes that will produce real and lasting differences in their lives - which ultimately result in changes in their feelings - and reactions.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, and owner of El Paseo Testing Center, I work with children, teens, and adults and specialize in conducting psychological-educational evaluations. Benefits include implementation of 504 Plans (Public/Private Schools), IEP's, University testing accommodations, College Board entrance exams and most importantly understanding one's Learning Profile to be a successful independent learner. I'm an advocate for early intervention, calling it the key to success for an individual living with a learning or behavioral difference. We have a Comprehensive team of licensed Independent Educational Evaluators that conduct second opinion assessments for School Districts.

My area of strength and focus is to be present as you explore the areas where you are seeking support, such as, life transitions, grief and loss, changes in your health, career changes, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and/or depression. I attune to the entire person: your mind, body, and spirit. We will start by first identifying goals that are important to you and your life. How we work toward your goals is based on strategies you align with and are important to you.

People want deep and lasting change, and this is the overall focus of my approach. First, a vital part of therapeutic success is forming a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. My approach centers on creating a warm, collaborative and interactive therapeutic setting in which painful or troubling feelings, thoughts, memories, and issues can be faced and worked through. Goals are tailored to each individual, and can be brief and focused, or longer-term and more depth-oriented. I specialize in life transitions, trauma, identity issues, and mood problems.

Together we will identify obstacles and work towards a timely resolution or to the recognition that the goal is not necessarily equilibrium but a healthy striving between what we currently are and what we could be or hope to become.

The word psychotherapy means “healing of the soul.” If you’re like most, your soul has been wounded. Sometimes it’s nobody’s fault. Sometimes it is. You may have been wounded recently; or, more likely, when you were younger. And so, as a result, you’ve adopted beliefs, created stories, and implemented strategies to protect your soul from further wounding. But if you’re reading this, those beliefs, stories, and strategies are not working anymore. Have you had enough? Is it time to finally get on a healing path? There are a number of ways to heal your wounds. When we speak I’ll share some of them. I look forward to chatting.
