When I imagine my ideal client, I think of someone who has already shown incredible strength simply by deciding to seek support. They may be carrying exhaustion from trying to manage everything on their own, or feel stuck in a pattern that no longer serves them. Often, they long for steadiness, relief, and more connection to themselves and others. My role is to create a safe space where they can be fully seen, supported, and explore their own resilience and capacity to heal.

I believe that people come into counseling or psychotherapy for a variety of reasons from loss to personal growth. Change and transitions can be difficult. I bring a unique blend of over 30 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Professor of Psychology, and California state provider of continue education for therapists and social workers.

I bring a unique blend of over 30 years of experience as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Professor of Psychology, and California state provider of continue education for therapists and social workers. I believe we are on our path of personal growth. Fear, anxiety, and depression can both slow and inform this process. I work in the here and now, but realize the importance of how our childhood experience has impacted the way we feel, think, and behave.

It can be really difficult to ask for help. Even when a helping hand is extended, it can be even harder to hold on and trust. I believe that healing is not a linear process. There will be inevitable ups and downs going through the healing journey, which is where the real progress is made. Continuously being asked to find the courage to get back up over, and over, and over again is where you will find your true inner strength. How do we keep moving forward when it all just feels like too much? Every passing moment is temporary, but it is how we cope with those challenging, stressful, and even scary moments that matter.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they are ready to understand and gently shift. Many are carrying the effects of trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Often, they have learned to push through, care for others, or stay strong at the expense of themselves. They are longing for relief, clarity, and a kinder way forward, and most of all to feel safer navigating being human in their bodies, emotions, and relationships.

I enjoy being a psychotherapist and take pride in doing good work. Being in the field for 30 years has given me a broad range of experience and knowledge that I bring to my practice. Besides helping with recent and long-standing concerns or difficulties, therapy can also facilitate personal and spiritual growth. I maintain a diverse practice working with people who seek assistance for a wide range of concerns/hopes related to depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem/self-worth, life transitions, life direction and purpose, trauma, grief, etc. I also work with people at end-of-life.

I am a strength-based psychotherapist committed to the unique process of each client and each therapeutic moment. I work with a balanced approach between a solution-focused, positive psychology and the deeper work of existential, psychodynamic or mindfulness-based interventions. I specialize in life and developmental transitions where symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, or triggered trauma increase in intensity and frequency and threaten that which we cherish. But I view the nagging presence and awareness of our problems as proof that we are ready and capable of dealing with them.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to see if I'm a good fit for you as a therapist. Helping people discover their own solutions to improve their lives is truly rewarding for me. I'll help you find your path to these solutions. I offer a safe and accepting space in which we explore the issues that challenge you in the present and how that may relate to emotional burdens of the past. Together we work to heal old wounds so that they no longer negatively impact decisions, relationships, or patterns of behaviors in your present life.

Many people experience a deep sense of longing often described as a feeling of emptiness. What we use to fix or fill that emptiness can begin addictive processes like alcoholism, love addiction, and codependency. My approach is to meet that longing with compassion, understanding and love. Often the problem that causes us discomfort is an old way of coping that a part of us believes we need. Together we find the meaning that is generating or keeping the presenting symptom or problem in place and then move to swiftly create positive lasting change.

Openings for Teens, Families, and Couples!
Talking isn't getting you there. You are more than your words and your stories. The body is a treasure chest, etched with our life's story and ancestral history. When we turn towards it, and become literate in its unique language, an unwinding happens, leading us from self-identified suffering into healing. Maybe for you, your body feels like a foreign place, a confusing place, or even a dangerous one. By collaborating with your whole self, a deeper sense of unification and clarity will be born. Let's deepen together in body-oriented, experiential psychotherapy.

I am a LMFT in Scotts Valley and Aptos, specializing in supporting individuals, couples, and families impacted by alcoholism and addiction. Addiction doesn’t affect just one person—it impacts the entire family system. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure how to support their loved one while also caring for themselves.
I provide therapy for spouses, partners, parents, and adult children of people struggling with alcohol or drug use, as well as individuals who are questioning their own relationship with substances. I help clients understand patterns of codependency, boundary challenges and anxiety.

As I see it, the primary role of a counselor is to serve as a mirror to help reveal what the client hasn't yet been able to see-especially those patterns of relating to self, others, and the environment that might be causing suffering. At the same time, the counselor is there to reflect, affirm, and strengthen the client's unique gifts and talents.One of the biggest impediments to healing, growth, and creativity is shame. To help clients move through this debilitating emotion, I use a combination of mindfulness, body awareness, and other healing modalities.

Some of my influences are Carl Jung, Arnold Mindell, Jean Shinoda Bolen, John Enright, Richard Schwartz and John Gottman. I work with depression and other mood disorders, eating disorders, spiritual identity, addiction recovery, codependency and trauma. I offer over 30 years of private practice experience.
