Is it time to heal? I am here to help! I work together with people who have experienced trauma or difficult times. I believe that people have an amazing ability to heal. Everyone does! I often hear people say "I want to stop letting this interfere with my life but I don't know how." Guess what? I do! I am not saying that it will be easy to work towards a better life; but it will be WORTH IT. You deserve to live the best life possible. Let's start working together!

Life can be difficult and I am here to help you explore and understand your experiences - past, present and future. If you are struggling with relationship difficulties, work challenges, stressful family dynamics or painful personal experiences, with compassion and empathy, I will help you explore and release guilt, shame, anger, anxiety, sadness and grief. You will gain skills to make life happen for you, not against you. You can expect to feel heard and understood as you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and how you have the control and choice to find peace, hope and happiness.

I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to overcome life's obstacles. My clients want to learn how to approach these obstacles and apply their new skills as problems arise; this allows my clients to feel confident in making positive, lasting changes in their lives. I often work with individuals, both adults and adolescents, who want to learn how to be more mindful in their lives and want help "getting out of their heads so to speak." My clients often want to re-establish their inner strength and learn how to better problem-solve in order to improve their lives.

I have been in practice in the area for over 40 years, working with a very diverse population, including individual's, adults, adolescents, and couples with a wide variety of concerns and complex life challenges.

Twice, I have been the recipient of the Lampert Award from Pacificare Behavioral Health, which quantifies client outcomes. In effect, my therapeutic effectiveness has been ranked in the top one percent of over 10,000 participating therapists.

Sometimes, life breaks your heart, and you don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re suddenly feeling lost, frustrated, dissatisfied, and tired of feeling unnoticed or unappreciated. You try your best to not crumble by holding it together, but the pressure to be “strong” or “perfect” prevents you from living life authentically and peacefully. With so much falling on your shoulders lately, you’re probably needing time/space to deal with your stress and sort through the disappointments and loss to find a way back to yourself. You want to feel better, you’re ready to talk, and you’re eager to set yourself free from what ails you.

It is my life calling to facilitate healing and transformation for people who are ready for meaningful change and authentic self-expression. I have over 7 years of experience working as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and before that, I worked in hospice and meditation centers.

I have worked with a variety of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, identity, sexuality, gender, addiction, OCD, PTSD, and grief and loss.

As a marital and family therapist with 24 years of experience, I have helped countless families, individuals, and couples through major struggles with anxiety, depression, stress, communication issues and trauma.

Life sometimes throws us a curve ball. Daily life struggles and stress that we have normally handled with relative ease can suddenly seem overwhelming. Too much stress and the inability to handle it properly can begin to undermine our potential to enjoy our work and to care for ourselves and others. Finances, parenting, relationships, school, care taking, health concerns, and loss can be stressful aspects of life. When we begin to internalize these external stressors it can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, poor health, phsysical/emotional exhaustion and relationship problems.

Are you struggling to get through the day? Are you afraid that you will never feel good again? If you're going through a personal crisis, keeping painful secrets, or feeling sad and scared, I can help you face your fears and change the way you view the world. I will teach you practical skills to navigate your current crisis and overcome any future challenges. I work with patients experiencing medical crises; post-traumatic stress; grief and loss; marital/relationship problems; parent-child issues and job/career changes. Share your story with me, and we can work together to rebuild your life and restore your hope.

Are you tired of coping with something painful or traumatic that happened in the past? Maybe it was childhood abuse or being bullied a long time ago, a recent car accident, or some other event at work or home that is causing you to feel anxious, isolated, or alone. You need a safe place and an understanding therapist to talk to who can help you put the painful memories behind so you can feel happier, less anxious, and have healthy relationships with others. It's time to live a good life in spite of what has happened to you.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist serving residents of California and Maine. Due to the barriers people often face while seeking help, my hope is to make the process a little easier by offering a secure space to participate in therapy from the privacy of your own home via Telehealth. I offer evidence-based care for people who may struggle to find help due to geographic location, impact of mental health on daily functioning, etc. Working collaboratively with each person is something I strongly prioritize throughout the treatment process, while also striving to empower people to make effective, long-lasting changes in their lives.
