" Welcome. You, like many of us at some point in our lives, may be dealing with an issue that you need help with at this time. Life is complicated and often stressful, and over time stress can impact our ability to cope as well as we would like. Perhaps you are struggling with changes in your mood, energy or self-esteem. Or experiencing problems in your relationships; perhaps having trouble functioning at work or in social situations. I have over 20 years experience working with individuals, couples and families on these and other concerns.

People find their way to therapy for various reasons. You may be in a crisis or you may want to work on long-standing behaviors that are no longer working for you. Maybe negative self-talk is getting in your way, or repeating the same behavior expecting different results and aren't sure how to make the necessary changes. Therapy is a process, finding the right therapist is important. I offer a free phone consultation to help you in your search.

Welcome and congratulations for seeking help! I love working with people who want to rise up to their highest potential yet know they have some blocks to clear out of the way. Often patterns show up in our lives and we can't figure out how to change so that we are manifesting what we want in life. Don't wait any longer, get the support you deserve!

If you are experiencing life’s bumps in the road, or feeling like you’re stuck, I can help. I am available to provide you and your family with compassionate, non-judgmental guidance. With 25 years experience, I specialize in relationships, couples, marital issues, divorce recovery, blended families, step parenting, women’s issues and transitions, mid-life changes, step parenting, blended families and military families.

(**During Pandemic: space for 4 new phone clients**) I work with people who feel stuck; people who are struggling with feelings or behaviors that make them feel isolated, confused, different. Whether it is depression, anxiety, perfectionism/self-criticism, loneliness, shame, abuse, working through and healing from trauma, or your relationship with yourself or others, there *really are genuine ways to heal. We all need to feel safe, to be seen and heard for change to happen; and that is what I offer you: A safe space to explore and understand what’s been keeping you where you are, so you can discover a new way to the life you want.

I utilize my training and experience in Psychotherapy, Medical Hypnosis and Biofeedback to help you accomplish your desired goals. From my extensive background I utilize what will work best for you as an individual. A result of our work together is for you to become congruent within all aspects of your life; your actions, thoughts and feelings, while living to the fullest each and every day. I will help you overcome obstacles and develop healthy coping skills. I specialize in recovery from traumas (PTSD), grief and loss, integrating and assimilating chronic pain, addictive behaviors and other conditions.

I am a licensed Psychologist and a Marriage Family Therapist in California, with more than 35 years of experience. I specialize in Depth Psychology and practice a Jungian approach. Mind, body, and spirit all work together to form an integrated person. I work with children, adolescents, transition-age youths, adults, and families. My experience has taught me that it's not "what's wrong" with you but "what has happened" to you that is important and the type of therapy I practice is not "problem centered", but "solution centered." I help individuals, couples, and families achieve their peak performance.

I am a licensed psychologist experienced in working with adolescents and adults. I create an empathic, collaborative, encouraging environment that allows people to explore their identity and relationships to live a more fulfilling life. I build a therapeutic relationship on mutual respect and support people in using their strengths to overcome challenges. I believe that discovering and developing a sense of purpose is an important part of the healing process.

My focus as a therapist is solution oriented, accessing inherent strengths to face the struggles we all encounter in life with new skills and insights. I enjoy working with clients who seek greater self understanding and changes in how they relate to themselves and others.

I welcome anyone who is looking to enhance and make meaning of their life. Unhealed wounds of abandonment, abuse, betrayal, loss and neglect lead to feelings of shame and fear, which keep you from having the relationships, resources and overall life experience that you want. I have expertise in identifying these core sources of pain, healing those wounds, understanding how they currently impact your life and, of course, changing those life patterns so you can experience something new!

Do you battle with feeling anxious, panicky, sad, trapped, or helpless? Is it hard to enjoy things that you used to do? Anxiety and depression can affect every aspect of your life - your relationships and family life, your work or schooling, even your self-care and physical well-being. Since 1990 I have helped hundreds of people find greater understanding of their frightening or demoralizing feelings and learn the skills they need to become confident, engaged, and even passionate about life. There are things in life you can't control...anxiety and depression are not among them.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward healing. One of the most difficult things is to find a therapist who you feel "gets" you, that you feel you can build rapport with. I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, those suffering from trauma, rape, sexual assault, grief and loss, children and adolescents, and those struggling with school issues (academic under achievement, bullying, emotional disturbance). I am providing services via Skype, FaceTime and phone. During this COVID-19 pandemic I am offering healthcare workers discounted therapy services.

Each of us wants to live our best, most fulfilling life. We want our relationships to be rewarding. Life is filled with various responsibilities and roles and sometimes it can be difficult to focus on what truly matters. Challenges, stress, unexpected changes or patterns of behavior can interrupt our journey to fulfillment. Therapy is a pause on the journey, a time to identify the obstacles and learn new skills to get back on track.

I see individuals and couples in my Practice. I see individuals, men and women, who want to work through internal blockages that are preventing them from finding peace within themselves or the ability to fill their needs more productively. I also work with couples with relationship issues, either to work through those issues or to work toward amicable separation. . I use Cognitive Restructuring, am fairly active during sessions, and aim at helping people become proactive so they can reach their potential in life.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step toward gaining essential tools to help you during life's challenging breakdowns. I am here to help you build an amazing set of "tools" to use when you have to navigate through rough terrain in your life. I am particularly passionate about working with you surrounding addiction issues of yours or a loved one.

You don't need to leave the safety of your home -Let's meet for Telehealth or Video Counseling! I want to reduce your stress, and help keep you and your family safe and healthy during this uncertain time. Working collaboratively, in a way that feels supportive we will identify and reach goals in a timely manner to ensure you gain initial and sustainable relief. I offer effective support.

Looking to feel more connected to your body, the present moment, and others around you? I'll walk with you through the journey of re-connection to yourself and the world. Tired of poor sleep, nightmares, and a brain that won't shut off at night? Take back control from past hurts, current stress, and old wounds. Are you ready to feel less fearful, restless, and tense? Learn skills to support a relaxed body and mind. I offer individual therapy to support healing and growth from old wounds. I work primarily with trauma, including childhood traumas, that continue to interfere with your ability to feel hope, worthiness, safety, and joy.

My goals as a therapist are to create a safe and supportive environment in which clients can share their thoughts and feelings freely, to learn more effective coping skills and interventions in order to ease symptoms and solve problems as well as gaining deeper insight about themselves, the world and their future. My approach is to meet clients where they are in life without judgement. Therapy sessions are collaborative where client and therapist examine and question client's distorted thoughts and core beliefs as well as developing positive strategies and healthier ways of thinking as they move forward in their lives.

My ideal client has some insight and understands that therapy is work. It's not just about having me (or anyone else) solve their problems -- it's something that has to be done jointly. They also need to be willing to listen and change.

Welcome. Making the decision to begin therapy can be daunting. I seek to help put people at ease by providing a warm safe space for self-reflection and growth. As a therapist, my goal is to help you understand what is at the root of your challenges, and to help you make the changes needed to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
