I provide a nurturing, compassionate space that empowers teens, adults, and couples to break cycles, heal wounds, set boundaries, and explore curiosities about yourself and the world. Anything you're struggling with makes sense to me - it isn't something you're doing wrong, or something that's bad about you.

I am a psychologist who is committed to providing compassionate and effective evidence-based treatments for insomnia, anxiety, trauma, and mood difficulties. I also enjoy helping clients navigate difficult life transitions, manage stress, and improve work-life balance. I view therapy as a true partnership where I aid individuals in identifying challenges, solutions, as well as key areas of strength. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and I strive to create a caring, supportive environment. My goal is to help you build skills to live better and move away from unhelpful thoughts, reactions, and habits.

I have over 14 years of experience treating individuals in therapy as a collaborative process. My approach is to treat current issues with an in-depth understanding of the self. Identifying patterns and making the unconscious, conscious are the keys to improving relationships, increasing self-esteem and meeting life goals.

Perhaps you’re here looking for a therapist here because someone told you, whether warmly or angrily: “You should get some help!” What you probably heard - and what they may have meant - was: you need to change. Unlike many, I don’t believe people need to change. The way I see it and how I work is to show my clients how to expand themselves - by adding in more useful and productive ways to think and act than they’ve done before. This results in my clients actually feeling better and functioning better. I work in a respectful and growth-filled manner, sometimes suggesting to my clients questions to elicit their self-knowledge.

After practicing psychotherapy for seventeen years at UCLA and Cornell University, I've come to realize that as human beings, we make the most change when we're able to harness the power of positive thinking and doing. A positive mind leads to resilience, self-confidence, and sustained happiness. Contrary to what you may believe, ordinary people like you and me can learn positive psychology. It isn't as hard as you think because we're born with the ability to heal ourselves and succeed in life. It's something to experience and discover for yourself. Happiness IS possible.

Are you exhausted by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or painful memories from the past? Living with severe anxiety can feel like you’re trapped in your own mind.
I specialize in Traumatic Stress and Anxiety Disorders, with over 20 years of experience helping clients recover from trauma, obsessive-compulsive cycles, and chronic fear. My clients come to me after surviving abuse, accidents, disasters, sexual violence, or the sudden loss of a loved one. They often struggle with flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, panic, fear of death, dissociation, nightmares, or feelings of unreality; symptoms that can feel overwhelming but are treatable

I work with individuals, couples and teens who are interested in emotional growth and integration. I focus on helping people to understand the whole of their experience, including unwanted or shameful experiences like sadness, grief, anger and fear.

This authentic and engaging process seeks to promote effective life choices, rewarding relationships, maintain healthy boundaries and a sense of agency.

You may look like you’re functioning well on the outside, but inside you feel stuck: conflicted about relationships, unsure what you want, or pulling away when things start to matter. You might struggle with commitment, emotional closeness, or a persistent sense that something isn’t right, even when life is objectively “okay.” Past losses, breakups, or unresolved grief may still shape how you show up, leaving you guarded, disconnected, or doubting yourself. Many people I work with want clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness, not to be “fixed,” but to feel more secure in themselves and more capable in relationships.

If you’ve found your way to my profile, I imagine there is some part of your life that feels less-than-ideal. Change is possible and you’ve just taken the first step. Do you experience anxiety or unwanted thoughts or have OCD? Do you find yourself worrying excessively about your safety or that of your loved ones? Is anxiety or self-doubt keeping you from getting what you want out of life, interfering with your relationships, or keeping you stuck? Are you struggling with your self-esteem, body image, or perfectionism?

A time comes in all our lives when we’re called to grow and heal. Thankfully, the ability to do so is part of our human nature—something that naturally comes alive when met with the right kind of support.
Therapy offers this support. It’s not about “fixing” you, but about supporting the capabilities you already carry within to get to a better place.
With broad training and experience as a therapist, I’ve witnessed firsthand—in myself and in others—our innate ability to heal and grow, no matter what’s happening right now, no matter what happened back then, and no matter what feels uncertain about the future.
