Many of my clients want to feel better- to change their situation- with the support of someone who understands what it is like to feel lost or invisible.

The couples I see are working through life's challenges and want a couple's counselor who gets them, who instead of pointing blame- finds solutions. Clients range from Hollywood to military, and teenagers to construction workers. Whatever your challenges, I will meet you there and help you navigate through.

At some point in our lives we may feel lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in repetitive patterns. We could be struggling with waves of anxiety, depression, or the ongoing echoes of traumatic experiences. Alternatively, we might be feeling confused during one of life’s many transitions. In therapy, we start by creating safety in the room and ourselves. We learn to recognize what is happening inside and out. We cultivate feelings of self-acceptance. We get curious about our internal and external experience. We discover self-nurturing techniques in order to survive, repair, heal and thrive. This is the therapeutic experience in my practice.
