Life can look perfectly fine from the outside while privately feeling overwhelming. You may appear successful, responsible, or capable to others while internally struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or relationships that feel intense and exhausting. You may overthink conversations, fear being abandoned, feel emotions deeply, or wonder why the same painful patterns continue despite your best efforts. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. For nearly 22 years, I have helped adults throughout California better understand their emotions, improve relationships, and build more stable, meaningful lives.

Are you facing challenges in your relationships, struggling with communication, or working through conflict?
Maybe you’ve experienced trauma and are seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexities of healing. Perhaps ADHD, major life transitions, or ongoing stress are making things feel overwhelming.
Many people come to therapy after trying different ways to feel better—only to find that those strategies haven’t quite worked. That’s okay. Therapy is a space to explore new perspectives, expand your toolkit, and create meaningful change in how you think, feel, and live.

Dementia Therapists
Can dementia patients benefit from counseling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counseling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counselors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counselors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioral and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
