It is my deep desire for therapy to be a meaningful and transformative experience. I believe this begins with authentic connection, being fully heard, understood and accepted.

I have helped both children, and adults process trauma, and gain effective coping skills for managing anxiety and unwanted thoughts to help them live a more fulfilling life.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 7 years. I have worked with young children, teens, adults, and older adults. I have experience treating trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting difficulties, and postpartum depression/anxiety. I utilize a combination of client centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I believe that in order to find the root of your symptoms, you need a safe place to do so. My main goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my patients. Patients will not allow themselves to go to a vulnerable place if they do not feel safe.

Updated 04/2024: I am currently accepting new clients. Searching for a therapist is not easy! I recognize this and will respond to therapy inquiries within two business days. If you're searching for a therapist, my guess is you've tried everything else and the feelings of overwhelm simply won't go away. Maybe your mind is holding on to the same negative thought; it feels heavy, and it’s exhausting. You might be looking for a safe place to simply catch your breath – a place to process and re-group. This is where our path cross.

Your mental health matters! I take a collaborative approach to psychotherapy and psychological testing, working with patients to reach their goals, feel empowered and find a place of healing. I specialize in a client-centered approach to therapy using Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and/or EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I also offer EMDR online via video. And ADHD testing for adults and kids. In person (Central Valley only) & online via video. Email me for more information.

My clients come from many walks of life but have one thing in common - they would like to improve their overall quality of life. Perhaps the wounds from their past or stressors from their present are adversely impacting their lives. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to improve their current level of functioning. My practice includes working with adults, college students, adolescents, couples, and families. I also co-lead groups with my husband who is also a psychotherapist, and I work with master's level and doctorate interns who are completing their therapy/supervison hours for licensing.

Life can be so challenging that we doubt that change and overcoming adversity is possible. Despite what circumstances of your life or the doubtful voice inside might be telling you, or the self critic inside - change is possible! I believe that therapy is a place to explore the thoughts and feelings behind some of those doubts that might be keeping you "stuck" in the belief that change or healthier habits aren't possible. I believe that past experiences shape one's story, but those experiences do not have to define an individual. With increased awareness and use of coping skills, you can improve your overall quality of life.

My objective is to provide support and a safe space, helping individuals and families work through their struggles with therapeutic and somatic techniques relative to their situation. My approach includes the exploration of life experiences impacting your daily life and relationships, the development of positive coping methods, emotional support, conflict resolution, and a positive self-image.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Will I ever be happy again?" I'm here to tell you that the answer is YES! You can feel happy again and you don't have to work through these difficult feelings alone. Struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, and chronic stress can be debilitating and leave us feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and hopeless. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space to work with you on your journey of healing, growth, and happiness. I will meet you exactly where you are in your process and provide treatment that is tailored specifically to your needs.
