My ideal clients are children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relational stress, or major life transitions. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are seeking support to better understand themselves and improve their relationships. I help clients move forward by providing a warm, grounded, and collaborative space tailored to their needs. I integrate EMDR and Brainspotting to address trauma at the brain-body level, along with practical coping tools to support emotional regulation, insight, and lasting change.

Therapy, to me, should reflect a kind and honest space where you can feel truly seen and supported as you grow. I love working with people of all ages, including those with autism, developmental differences, neurodivergent experiences, depression, anxiety, and LGBTQ+ individuals. I’m curious about how each person connects with the world, and I’m here to meet you with patience and understanding, no matter where you are on your journey. I have a special passion for supporting women who feel weighed down by systemic pressures — whether that’s around identity, motherhood, or just the everyday challenge of balancing it all.

I have been practicing psychotherapy since 2004 and am currently serving as the Director of the Center for Transformational Therapy in Nevada City. I am accepting clients who are interested in moving beyond ego psychology and engaging in deeper transformative work. The transformational process involves establishing a relationship with Awareness and through that relationship discovering the capacity to transcend our core deficiency stories and reactive emotions. The realization of fundamental happiness occurs through this process as the natural shift in identity from the ego or the 'me' to the Self.

You've tried talking it out. You've read the books. Maybe you've even done couples therapy before — the kind where you take turns sharing feelings and leave wondering if anything actually changed. You're still stuck. The same fights keep happening. The distance keeps growing. You're starting to wonder if this is just how it's going to be, or if it's time to call it. You don't need someone to validate you. You need someone to help you see what's actually going on — and what you can do about it. That's what I do. I work with couples who are ready to stop going in circles and start making real progress.

Life is complex and requires continual adaptation. I am passionate about helping people find a pathway through difficult times by validating their experiences, identifying unhelpful patterns, finding new solutions, and working towards healing. Healing is a process that requires feeling safe in a caring, non-judgmental environment. Each person has their own story to make sense of, and befriend. I am here to provide a down to earth approach and trusting space for you to expand your awareness, coping skills, problem solving, and distress tolerance. Being heard and feeling understood can help in all our other relationships.

Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Therapists
What type of therapy is best for narcissistic personality disorder?
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is best treated with talk therapy, which could involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, schema therapy, gestalt therapy, or similar approaches. A therapist will help a patient uncover the feelings that may drive their behavior and discover how to engage with themselves and those around them with greater empathy and understanding, fewer demands, and less defensiveness, with the goal of developing a more authentic sense of self that enables healthier relationships.

How do therapists treat NPD?
By developing a strong therapeutic relationship, and continually focusing patients on relationships, community, and connection, a therapist, through talk therapy, may be able to help someone with NPD change. In sessions, a therapist will help an individual achieve relief from their current stressors, including the treatment of co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression. A therapist may also help an individual to recognize unhealthy coping mechanisms, learn new ways of interacting with others, and eventually become able to feel and display empathy.

Can a narcissist be cured with therapy?
Therapy can be effective. After a serious setback or great loss, someone with NPD may be forced to recognize that they are not immune to life’s challenges. That can spur feelings of melancholy and depression that lead them to seek professional help. Once an individual decides to seek help, they have already taken a step that the majority of those with NPD never will. Still, people with NPD often quit therapy as they naturally resist feeling vulnerable, being challenged, or admitting to flaws.

How can you get narcissistic personality disorder treatment for someone?
It is notoriously difficult to convince someone with NPD to seek help. With their feelings of superiority, they may be unlikely to recognize or acknowledge that they have a problem, or that their problem is narcissism. Sometimes, they are aware that they are arrogant and that others resent them but they don’t see it as a problem because they are convinced of their superiority. People with NPD have trouble maintaining relationships, but family members and others who do feel close to them, and whose presence they value, may be able to encourage them to seek therapy.
