I am a psychotherapist licensed in California and Arizona and I have 15 years of experience in research, hospital agency, home visiting and private practice settings. I specialize in working with individual adults with childhood trauma and I like to help others navigate difficult relationships and work through distressing and overwhelming life experiences.

I also specialize in play therapy for children 6-10 and child custody evaluations.

I am a licensed psychologist and my focus has centered around toddler and teen diagnosis and intervention, parent counseling/skills training, and family group psychotherapy. I utilize my background and training in psychodynamic, relational, and attachment-based approaches to therapy, but also appreciate when cognitive and behavioral approaches are needed. Utilizing my skills in psychodiagnostic testing and therapy, I provide individualized treatment and support to children and their families. (Virtual therapy (age 12+), parent training, and testing/evaluations are available. Currently, no availability for in-person therapy cases.)

I specialize in working with preteens, teens, young adults, adult individuals and couples. Many of the feelings, wishes, and concerns that motivate our thinking and behavior are housed in the furthest corners of the psyche, away from awareness. It is no wonder that changing long-standing patterns, even if we know how beneficial this change can be, presents a challenge. As a therapist, I help explore the origin and function of the rigid internal mechanisms that inhibit personal growth. Together, we will uncover past experiences and hidden motivations, trace their impact on the present, and explore ways to move beyond the limitations.

It is exciting, you are taking steps to find support. My expertise comes from over 20 years working with individuals, couples and families experiencing the effects of attachment trauma.
