Are you unsatisfied, tense, restless, or exhausted but can’t figure out what what the real problem is or what to do about it? Do you feel stuck in self destructive patterns or painful emotions but can’t shift those patterns with consistency? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed in your life and feel unable to truly rest and refresh? Perhaps you are a hard worker, but all your effort has left you feeling heart heavy or exhausted, and fun and joy are too rare. I’d like to help you access your innate healing capacity to find peace and ease in your body, revitalize and come into a fuller and more satisfying expression of yourself.

There's no rulebook for being an adult. Our parents didn't give us all the information or skills that we would require, as they often lacked a few themselves. Having a strong sense of self is often put in the backseat as we all do things that we think are expected of us. If you are looking for that support to explore how you ended up here, the patterns you have been carrying forward that are no longer serving you, or how to reconnect meaningfully with your partner, I have the skills to support you in this process.

Currently my practice is full, thank you for your interest. I will update when I have openings. I offer therapy to aid clients with working through challenges, develop pathways to success and to live a more gratifying life. I view my role as one to walk along side you as you explore what may be holding you back or blocking you from achieving success.

I have had experience with many alcoholic/addicts and have worked in treatment for over 13 years. I have also worked with many clients who have had significant trauma in their history. I am comfortable with both men and women, dealing with issues ranging from life transition, divorce, and narcissistic parents and spouses. We will discuss self-limiting beliefs and how they have affected your mind, body, and soul. When the belief is changed within the subconscious mind, behavior changes, and thus, life will significantly change.

Neuroscience is showing us what we have known instinctually forever; that it is through nurturing relationships that healing and human growth occurs. If we have been wounded in relationship or have unresolved trauma from the past, our fear can prevent us from seeking and maintaining nurturing and safe connections with self and others. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to provide a compassionate, safe and supportive environment on your journey toward wellness.

Does your life feel unmanageable? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you use alcohol or drugs to just get through? Or do you sometimes think, is this all there is? There is hope! I know it can seem frightening to face these issues but the rewards of doing so are well worth it. I have worked in the addiction field for over 16 years at inpatient and outpatient treatment centers. I have found that most folks suffering from these problems have also experienced various trauma's in their lives. Sometimes when these traumas are not addressed one can lose track of who they really are.

I am a counselor because I believe that therapy can be a powerful tool to rebuild from loss and restore confidence, peace, and joy within ourselves. Counseling sessions serve as a safe, non-judgmental way to explore and identify emotions, their origins, and their role in daily life. I also work with you to connect and understand the thoughts and actions that accompany your emotions. This practice supports health and well-being. Loss, pain, confusion, worry, and anger top the list of emotions explored in counseling.

I work with many older adults who are challenged by their life's circumstances, whether it be social isolation, financial worries or health problems or other age related concerns. I believe having emotional support during this time, is very important to help us age as best we can. I enjoy working with women of all ages, ethnicities, and sexual orientations as I feel being a women is wonderful but not without some unique challenges. I truly enjoy the energy and power of women and feel honored to be a part of their growing journey. I feel the same about my work with those who have a chronic illness or chronic pain.

Sex addiction impacts the addict and their partner. Sex addicts may experience preoccupation with sexual thoughts, hide sexual behaviors or activity from others, have sought help for problematic sexual behaviors, feel controlled by their sexual desire, feel depressed after sexual behavior, or notice others have suffered due to their sexual behavior? Partners of sex addicts may experience shock, intense anger, fear, and/or pain about their partner’s sexual behaviors, experience unexpected drops in sexual interest, feel like they are on an emotional roller coaster, or notice that past trauma keeps coming back and impacting them.

Life can be very demanding and leave us feeling overwhelmed. Finding the right therapist can return you to balance as you sort through what is troubling you and learn to manage difficult feelings. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment, where you are free to speak openly and honestly. I have a genuine concern for the well being of all my clients and respect the needs of each individual while we explore issues and work together to gain greater clarity and resolve areas of conflict.

Whether your child or teenager is facing challenges that you are not sure how to handle, or you are a young adult facing the complexities of life and feeling overwhelmed, I believe counseling can help.

I love working with youth and young adults who are struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety and/or their sense of self-worth. I exclusively provide tele-therapy (think FaceTime) for people who reside in California.
