I have been a Licensed Marriage Family Child Therapist,for over 36 year,working with individuals,couples, families,children of all ages , young adults,and groups with different backgrounds,struggling with variety of issues and challenges.My philosophy is both holistic and integrative approach,where the focus is the client's well being as a whole person.I strongly believe that mental,psychological,behavioral ,emotional,along with spiritual health are all interconnected and have profound effects on one's physiological health and well being. My intention is to assist,inspire,educate,and motivate my clients in their personal journey .

We all have a story to tell. Our lives are full of hopes and dreams, fears and struggles. No matter if the client in front of me is a five year old child, a couple in their 30's, or a sixty year old man, we all need someone to listen and support us. I consider myself to be an empathetic therapist. I want to support my client as best I can in their life journey. I also know that it isn't easy to go to therapy and I want to be someone who starts with where the client is at, but also know that I can be direct at times if needed, and softer at other times. I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, and families.

In my professional experience, people come to therapy when they are feeling unhappy, stuck or blocked in some way and feel that they have exhausted their available resources and coping mechanisms. My role as a therapist is to serve as a guide to help the client identify and express their needs and wants, as well as assist the client in recognizing their strengths and abilities to heal and grow. I work with clients to help them understand their past experiences and current situation in order to move forward. I am warm, compassionate, collaborative and interactive in my approach.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages especially those experiencing conflicts in their personal and professional life. Many experience complexities and challenges that are hard to resolve. "Connection" is the most important aspect in developing a natural, trusting and collaborative working relationship. Connection promotes a healthy therapeutic alliance where goals can be achieved and reflected upon. A therapeutic relationship involves weaving compassion and understanding while developing the ability to effectively communicate in a safe, nurturing environment. Parent coaching and co-parenting are also available.

Therapy is an opportunity to face your difficulties in a supportive environment, enabling you to live your life the way you want. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I look forward to working with you. I provide individual and couples therapy and see adolescents and adults.

Through Jungian Analysis and Psychotherapy, I work with your dreams, images and unconscious, to access and develop the individual potential you were meant to live.

I am a collaborative, creative, and empathetic therapist. I believe that in order to effectively meet your goals; sessions should be personalized based on your individual needs.

When considering therapy, it is natural to feel a bit intimidated by the process.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS + PHONE/VIDEO AVAILABILITY* Are you struggling with substance use or disordered eating habits? Or maybe you need some guidance on self-esteem or relationship issues? It's okay to not be okay, and I'm here to help you through whatever life has brought your way. I believe in treating each these issues from a whole person perspective, and will work with you to enrich all areas of your well-being. Through openhearted and compassionate communication, we will create a safe space for you to mindfully explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and identify which among them no longer serve you.

I believe we are all wired for connection, and, whether extraverted or introverted, rejection and isolation are incredibly painful experiences. Our brains and bodies are built in such a way that protects us from threat and harm. While these protection instincts are necessary and helpful in the midst of threat, sometimes they can keep us from the connection we truly crave and need. If you're finding that your protectors are keeping you from relating with yourself, others, and the world around you, the counseling setting can be a safe place for practicing transformational skills to break free from the unhealthy, unhelpful habits.

Do you feel overwhelmed, not knowing how to balance your life and inner longings? Maybe you have resorted to coping skills that are no longer working or are even harming you. And maybe you are dreaming of getting your Self back by finding more meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. Sometimes a little outside guidance can shift our perspective and we can learn effective tools to help us thrive again. I love to help with: Anxiety disorders (including emetophobia), relationship solutions, women's issues, pre/postnatal concerns, women's health, peri/menopause, and parenting solutions.

Overcome obstacles in your life that you have been struggling with. We will work together toward this, whether it be relationship difficulties, professional or financial concerns, or a personal challenge. There is no reason you need to settle for sub-par circumstances or situations in your life. I believe that "change comes from within" and that each of my clients already posses the abilities and resources necessary to improve their life circumstances. Together, we will collaborate to access these inner strengths, and create a brighter future based on a deeper awareness of self.

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in the State of California since 1993, with over 35 years' experience. I work with a variety of populations, including adults and adolescents, couples, and families. I am certified in EMDR, a type of therapy that treats people who feel "stuck" in a particular area of their lives or those with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) following a traumatic experience. My office is easily accessible from Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia, La Costa, Olivenhain, Rancho Santa Fe, Vista, San Marcos, and Oceanside.

In therapy we're given space to examine where we are, where we would like to be, and create a road-map for how to get to there. I have a passion for joining others in their journey to making positive change, achieving balance and living authentically. I partner with individuals, couples, and families to establish new ways of coping with life transitions and living with intention.
