Are you trying to find a therapist for yourself or a loved one and feeling overwhelmed? Are you a parent of a child, teen, or young adult feeling frustrated, confused and unsure where to turn? I know how difficult this can be for you and your family. I empower children, teens, and adults to initiate change in their lives with tangible life skills, individualized treatment plans, and evidence-based therapy. I specialize in providing individual, family, and group therapy for teens and young adults struggling with addiction, mental health distress, trauma, failure to launch, and family crisis.

“It is the Events in our lives that Shape Us. It is our Choices that Define Us.” My approach to healing offers the ability to change our character, personality, and our behavior. I will also offer the ability to understand the character, personality, and behavior of others whom impact your life. I find this thorough examination of each of these aspects to be necessary in order to make sustained changes that will recreate an authentic self that has the courage to live a healthy and happy life.

Originally from the California coast, I’m a down to earth and relatable counselor who seeks to create an inviting environment that is conducive to each individuals process of health, healing, exploration, and growth. My goal as a clinician is to assist clients in becoming learners of self and students of life as I collaborate with them to establish a standard for healthy living, pursue health in its purest form, navigate seasons of transition, overcome life obstacles, discover purpose and identity, improve self, and walk through seasons of healing and restoration.

I am an adult and pediatric psychologist. Having been a practicing psychologist for over 20 years, my focus is cognitive behavior therapy. This involves changing the irrational beliefs behind stress, anxiety, and depression. Some of my specialties include women's issues, trauma, rape, OCD, teens, children, divorce, drug & alcohol related issues. Life is stressful. It sometimes feels like it's just too much to handle. Perhaps you are feeling tired all the time, anxious, depressed, unfulfilled in your relationships or job, or as though you are going through the motions of life experiencing little joy. You are not alone.
