Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and tired? Do you want more from life and need help navigating life’s challenges? I believe therapy should be a collaborative, safe and trusting experience and will focus on tailoring our sessions specifically to your needs. In our work together, I will help you gain insight, learn coping skills and build self-esteem to hopefully have a more fulfilling and joyful life.

At the core of healing and growth is a solid and caring relationship with oneself and others. I aim to foster this while addressing your specific needs. I honor each individual I meet with and take a uniquely tailored and collaborative approach to therapy. Pursuing your goals with creativity, compassion and humor can help make the "work" of therapy flow more naturally and comfortably. I can help you gain insight in addressing various aspects of your individualized healing process holistically, which may include expressive art therapy, nature therapy, relational-cultural therapy as well as more traditional approaches.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA, 53160), an Educator with a School Psychologist and a Clear Administrative Credential, and a Lawyer preparing to take the BAR soon. Additionally, I specialize in court-involved therapy and have written a curriculum for co-parenting and parallel parenting education. My approach to counseling is multidisciplinary, integrative, culture-centered, and evidence-based. I prioritize your perspective and unique experiences over a single theoretical approach to counseling. Research shows that such approaches are only valuable when adapted and personalized to fit one’s life experiences.

Being a teenager can be hard and being a parent of a teenager can be challenging. Knowing that we all desire for children to be emotionally well adjusted and academically successful, it is sometimes necessary to seek support. I am available to support your family through the journey of adolescence and can provide you with valuable information about your child's learning abilities and emotional functioning and tools to navigate the education system. You are not alone. I am here to support you.

I use compassion and acceptance to provide a safe place for clients to process issues important to them; meeting clients where they are emotionally and spiritually so that I can accompany them on their current journey in life. I provide a structured environment and interactive therapy session which focuses on the client's agenda. As a therapist, I draw from different therapeutic approaches appropriate to the situation including EMDR for trauma. When working with individuals, I feel it is important to look at their personal story, thought patterns, and behavioral strengths - as well as their relationships with others.

I have extensive experience in guiding people to return to their natural state of psychological health and well-being. This state of equilibrium never goes away; it only becomes obscured through our learned patterns of thinking. As a practitioner of Integrative Medicine, my approach is wellness-based rather than illness-focused. Listening to physical symptoms can be very essential to the healing process. Creating a safe comfortable space I can be your guide to mental wellness. As you re-establish healthy thinking, you can tap into your own natural wellness.

I combine support, insight, and direction to help you have the skills to better manage your life, and obtain greater peace and joy. There is no greater privilege than helping a person improve their life, and I appreciate the opportunity to help you!

Sometimes our best life can feel out of reach. A part of us feels stuck in cognitive or relational patterns that served us at one time, but do not serve us well anymore. We want to make some changes, but we find ourselves stuck. Poet Mary Oliver asked the question, "What will you do with this one wild and precious life?" I'm here to listen as you figure out how you want to answer this question, and to witness the work you need to do to get there. Our best selves, living our best lives, are within reach.
