Hello. I’m a trauma informed attachment therapist certified in EMDR. I believe in our ability to heal and grow. I love to see individual and families to heal, grow and thrive because occasionally being human is difficult. I would be honored if invited to be a part of your journey as you explore issues around yourself, on parenting, or relationship challenges. If you experience self-doubt, depression, anxiety, due to trauma, grief and losses, I’m here for you. If you have been considering bringing some positive changes to your life, reach out to me and let's journey together.

Everyone's life experiences and circumstances are unique. My role as your therapist is to understand the details and complications of your concerns so that I can help you achieve your goals. My strengths are that I am open and accepting while I push for insight and growth in a way that feels safe and offers hope for positive change. You will develop alternative, constructive ways to view yourself and interact with others that fit your personality and lifestyle.

If you have accessed this database, chances are either you or someone you love is hurting. My life's passion is helping people grow through their emotional pain and find solutions for life's problems. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. Problems and difficulties are part of life. No one is exempt. There is no shame in asking for help and I'd like to partner with you as you seek solutions that will work for you.

At its best, therapy helps you find answers within yourself. I start with a belief in the basic, natural goodness of every person. I believe, as did Carl Jung, that even the most distressing symptoms are expressions of the individual’s tendency toward growth and healing. In other words, symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression are signs not of a “sick person,” but of the psyche protesting against unhealthy circumstances.

You don't need to settle for pain and stagnation as you experience life's challenges. I can help you navigate your emotional journey and guide you towards feeling better. I provide counseling in a safe and nurturing environment for adults, teens, and adolescents to better manage life transitions, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and trauma that can affect the way we connect with others and reach our personal goals.

Even people living in San Luis Obispo county- the "happiest place on Earth" need, on occasion, professional support for life's stresses and emotional challenges.I specialize in professional men and women's issues: How to choose the right life or business partner, balancing work and family, cultivating assertiveness, strengthening self-esteem. Families with sensitive children: Quiet, dreamy, introverted, socially awkward, and easily misunderstood - even by their own parents. Artists' dilemmas: Performance anxiety, blocked creativity, survival as an artist in a tough economy. Immigrants with their feet in two worlds: Redefining the meaning of "home," breaking through the language barrier, developing a bi- cultural identity.

I am interested in your unique needs and helping you in the most indivualized way possible. I want to help you identify and reach your therapeutic goals, and put an end to self-sabatoging thoughts and behaviors. While therapy can often be hard work, it's worth it to feel better in your relationships with yourself and others. Beginning therapy can feel like a scary step and I know how important the therapist-client relationship can be in working through issues together.

Are you feeling irritated or depressed? Do you feel unappreciated? Are you anxious in social situations? Is it time to make positive changes in your life? Healing begins when you acknowledge that feelings of pain, isolation or fear are too much to carry alone. The journey starts by speaking the truth about what you want from life. Allowing yourself the opportunity to experience clarity and understanding is a gift no one can take away. I offer you the opportunity to explore and identify goals for treatment by providing a space where honesty, openness and a sense of humor allow healing to begin.

Loving Kindness. Compassion. Joy. Equanimity. We are social beings and often need one another to grow, heal and explore. Together we can address your unique needs, such as a sense of suffering you wish to transform, a life situation you need some support in dealing with, or a profound journey you would like to embark upon. I look forward to understanding your life view and offering honest feedback and support as we collaborate to develop practices suited to your path.

I believe that each person has a unique self that must be respected, recognized and understood. My practice focuses on helping people understand their specific challenges, and utilizing their particular strengths in order to heal, change, and grow. I utilize a compassionate and empathetic approach that offers customized treatment to the specific needs/goals of each individual or family.

Currently, I'm mostly using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with my clients. When, as a child, we find ourselves traumatizing or trapped in negative circumstances, parts of our self system compensate by locking away that which at that time was too much for us to handle. Later, if we do not go back to this locked away material, the pain, confusion and injustice of what happened to us long ago, can get triggered, or, awakened, when similar such challenges arise in the present. IFS provides a safe way for that locked away material to be approached and reprocessed, allowing our core self to take back control of our lives.
