Are you distressed? Anxious? Wish life felt more positive? Would you, on your own or with your partner, like to work through what's bothering you, improve relationships, and feel more confident in going for what you want? Perhaps you would like support to explore and understand what you are experiencing, and help to make some changes. Meeting with a therapist for time focused solely on you can help you on your journey.

My practice is about giving my clients support and guidance as they seek to move towards health. I believe that small changes can help you and your family become unstuck.

Using compassion, humor, and insight I work to create a safe, caring, and trusting environment for you to improve your mental health and relationships.

I work with adolescents and young adults. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are having a particularly difficult time with major life transitions. I also work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulties with relationships and individuals who are struggling with a particularly difficult period or event in their lives. Regardless of what i am helping with, my treatment begins and ends with the therapeutic relationship. My first priority in treatment is creating a safe, warm and caring environment for my client from which all other work is built on.

Self doubt, lack of confidence, stuck-ness, and living through challenging daily symptoms and stressors can make it hard to attain authenticity, zestful living and the recognition of your life's full potential. You are capable of healing, shifting and integrating your experiences into something that can launch you forward and upward. I offer warm presence that invites ease, invitation, and the creative spirit. You can unlock, embrace and expand your personal capacity for growth, authenticity, innovation, self-expression and positive impact.

I provide psychotherapeutic services for children, teens and adults in Davis, CA. Prior to private practice I worked in community mental health and residential treatment. I use a person-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs and strengths.

Clients have shared that I have an easy, down to earth, warm and relational approach.

Please note: as of September 2021 I am not taking new clients in my Oakland office, I do have limited availability in my Davis practice. Starting therapy can often bring up many feelings; and taking those first steps to find a good fit between you and your therapist is an important part of the process. We will work together to create a relationship that feels safe enough to address your concerns. In addition to my private psychotherapy practice I have provided trauma informed therapy to individuals and families in various community based, non-profit agencies, in addition to Clinical Supervision.

In this moment you feel lost, disconnected from your path/career, and unsure how to find self-fulfillment, while feeling the weight and intense expectations of others. You know you need help and don't know where to turn. Explaining how lost you feel to others around you, will make you more vulnerable than you wish to feel. You feel alone and know that something has to change. The stress of school and/or work is insurmountable, sharing these feelings with friends and family is not possible. Your stress causes intense pressure and anxiety which is affecting every aspect of your life.

I will be on maternity leave until mid October 2022. Please email if you'd like a referral or to be added to my waitlist. These are unprecedented times and we are facing the aftermath of a global trauma. You may be feeling grief, loss, burnout, depression, anxiety, or you may have no clue what it is you're feeling. I am here to hold space for you as we make our way through this existential crisis.

My practice focuses on the use of Bio- and Neurofeedback to optimize cognitive and emotional function in stress-related disorders, mood and anxiety disorders and ADHD. My ideal client is one who is seeking a therapeutic relationship and who is open to the use of Bio- and Neurofeedback for the brain to bring about results more rapidly than traditional talking therapy. Please see my website at NorCalNeurotherapy.com.

I believe that we all have the ability to grow and change and sometimes we need help in order to do so. The therapeutic relationship can be a place for connection, healing, insight and acceptance.

I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, university challenges, both academic and social, and other difficult life events/transitions.

Clients need a sense of connection and trust, but also need someone who will gently challenge long-standing beliefs and patterns in a way that leads to positive change. I have been a therapist in the Davis community for 20 years, and have extensive training in Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Coherence therapy, and Long term psychodynamic psychotherapy.

My Goal is to support clients in exploring their past and present to uncover unhealthy patterns that may cause distress and stops them from creating the changes they seek. We will collaborate together to create strategies and solutions based on a holistic, cognitive, and psychodynamic approach that supports you in meeting your personal and professional goals, as well as creating lasting change in your life.

Over the last two decades my clientele has changed along with my experience, skill acquisition and personal life. First as a clinician, then business owner, family man and student of life and living, I have been fortunate to have a career that reflects my own life. Peek moments, so many blessings, long trials and struggles and big losses have rounded the edges of once sharp ideals and brought a humble gratitude for the souls I've met in my office. While I have a solid grasp of several powerful treatment modalities, my goal first is to be a good human to those who seek me out.

Are you tired of struggling with your mental wellness on your own? We all have ups and downs in our lives. But wouldn't it be great to feel a reassuring undercurrent of serenity and resilience, no matter what is happening in your outer world?

Life is inherently full of challenges. Work and/or school, family, relationships all have their own difficulties and you end up feeling depleted and unhappy. At times, you may feel you can manage your challenges, and other times you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, unsafe, vulnerable, or even lost. You may feel hurt and like you are carrying too much stress and worry. You are searching for a way to cope with your stressors and are seeking more fulfillment in your life. You’ve tried different ways to help yourself, but your challenges persist. Navigating life is hard, but you are worthy of support as you go through it.

Our lives here on earth are a creative experience! At times, we need a place to rest and tend to our inner world. I view the therapeutic process as a brave space to access parts of ourselves that we want to grow and transform. My goal in working with you is to provide a supportive environment that will cultivate an increased awareness of your needs, self-compassion and understanding of who you are becoming.
