"Hello and welcome to my page. With over 15 years of experience, I work with children (ages 3-18) and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, adjustment-related stress, chronic illness, relationship challenges and behavioral problems. My therapeutic approach largely depends on the age and needs of the child, teen, or family. Mindful Self Compassion, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play and art therapy, as well as attachment-based and relational work are modalities I use often. I also offer psychological evaluations to help clarify diagnoses, identify intellectual abilities (learning disorder, ADHD, giftedness), and/or identify underlying personality and motivations."

"I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. Each person comes in with their own unique life story, strengths, barriers, and goals. It is my role to create a nonjudgmental and safe environment to explore what will be helpful for each person. My practice focuses on helping people develop a more mindful and compassionate way of living, and increase a healthier connection with oneself and others. Areas of focus include eating disorders or disordered eating/exercise, anxiety & stress, general women's issues, life transitions, relationship struggles, depression, prenatal & postpartum problems, grief & loss, aging, and trauma."

"Are your mental and physical issues taking over your life? Experiencing changes in life can be difficult. When changes are significant, and you find that they are multiplying, it can make the most capable person feel unfocused, irritable, sad, worried, and overwhelmed. You feel exhausted trying to find things to make you feel better. So many things you've tried have not worked. Maybe you've tried to reach out to loved ones, but they simply do not understand. Yet, overtime, the chronic pain, fears, and uncertainty about the future can make things worse. It is why you are here."

"Are you driven to achieve while also being your own worst critic? Despite all your success, there is an emptiness and a yearning for connection. Yet relationships don't last, and partners say they "can't live up to your expectations." The truth is, you're high standards for yourself rob you of joy, and impact your connection with others. Consequently, the ones you love most pull away leaving you empty. This only increases your anger, resentment, and disappointment, while contributing to feelings of isolation and the belief that "You're not Enough.". It's time to get off this emotional rollercoaster."

"I support and facilitate individuals, couples and families achieve a more adequate and satisfying life when going through difficult times. "

"For over 20 years I have been providing counseling to individuals, couples and families. I strive to establish good relationships with my clients through a warm and genuine interaction and thus create an environment where they feel comfortable to express their feelings openly. Once people feel safe enough to really share their struggles, worries or fears, then a solution can often be found. My strengths are working with teens, late adolescents, parents, families, couples (infidelity), adoptive parents(or those who wish to be), and individuals needing help with depression, anxiety or grief and loss."

"Whether you are facing challenges due to depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, or trauma, I can help. Imagine feeling such relief from worries that it brings relaxation through your whole body! That can be a goal for us to achieve together. My aim will be to work with you to help you resolve whatever troubles you are experiencing in order to find greater meaning and satisfaction with your life, especially in your relationships. I can also help you navigate difficulties you may be experiencing in your work life."

"I offer a free phone consultation before setting up our initial meeting, because I believe that it is important to make sure that clients and therapists are a good match for eachother. Although it may be difficult at times to share our life experiences with one another, I have seen that working through our most challenging life events is what helps us grow the most. I love talking with teens, adults, couples, and athletes about the challenges and changes they want to conquer in their life, and I am motivated to be a part of the new lifestyle that people choose to develop for themselves."

"I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma. At times the way people try to cope with and manage their past or present difficulties create additional barriers to feeling good, and fulfilling their hopes and goals. As a conscientious, professional, and compassionate clinician, I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which together we can think about, understand and help you work through those feelings and thoughts that are troubling, confusing and worrisome, and are perhaps getting in your way."

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing. My goal is to help you identify and heal from trauma, past and present that prevents you from living your best life. In addition to cognitive and solution focused therapy, I am trained in somatic modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, Hypnotherapy and LENS Neurofeedback. Because I believe everyone is uniquely designed, I use an integrated approach to therapy and work closely with you to create a customized treatment plan."

"I believe that everybody is unique and that one approach doesn't fit all. I combine evidence based treatment with intuition to tailor treatment to each person's needs, taking into consideration their strengths and weaknesses. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust between therapist and client to help clients explore and resolve life challenges."

"Specializing in Restoration Therapy I work with couples and individuals who find themselves stuck in a disruptive and damaging pattern of painful emotions and destructive coping. There is great hope and life to be found in the marriage and in relationships and I work to help couples or individuals reorient themselves and their relationships around the truth about who they are in order to live in peace. As a Level I Certified Restoration Therapist I help my clients gain insight about their identities in order to move toward responsible change and new life-giving patterns."

"Even confident capable people can find themselves suddenly feeling unsure; crushed under the weight of trying to survive. Yesterday you felt fine - today anxiety stopped you cold in your tracks. Heart-pounding and short of breath you find yourself pulling away from people you love and activities you enjoy. The world is scary and people can't be trusted. This is no way to live, and you do not have to feel this way any longer. I can help you find the way back to you, often without medication."

"I can help your teen eliminate their negative behaviors and express themselves in a way that communicates love and respect so you and your family can be closer and live a more fulfilling life. Ultimately you will be confident that your teen is making healthy decisions. Specializing in the reduction of depression, anxiety, defiance, aggression and/or anger."

"Whether you are an adult, child or teen, anxiety, depression and trauma can be overwhelming. Over time, feelings of doubt, fear, sadness or dread take a painful toll on your life. The sense of confidence, joy and optimism that you felt in the past begins to slip away. With the right help, however, these problems can be overcome. A happier, and fuller life is possible. For over 20 years I have trained interns, and helped clients, at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center. My colleagues at Invictus Psychological Services have also been trained by me, and are also ready to help you succeed in creating a happier life."

"I provide integrative, holistic psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. Whether it's depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, grief and loss, or any of life's difficult transitions, I meet my clients where they are and work collaboratively to help them find healing, transformation, and wellbeing."
