Do you wake up each morning feeling excited and enthusiastic in anticipation the day ahead? Or do you find yourself feeling depressed, uninspired , anxious or just unfulfilled? Many people struggle with these feelings, subsequently missing out on what life as to offer and what they have to offer to life. We are all influenced by our life experiences and some of these lead to inaccurate and limited beliefs about ourselves. Once you learn to identify, understand and challenge these beliefs, you change the way you see yourself.

I believe that therapy is an individual, unique, and empowered process for each client that allows them to recognize their inner strengths and workings. Each client has their own answers that they are searching for and struggles they are trying to overcome in their daily life. During the process of therapy, I strive to help clients develop an increased sense of autonomy and purpose in order to create movement toward these answers. In succession, I help clients develop healthy ways of coping with stressors, as life is inevitably filled with difficulties and obstacles.

I began my career behind the camera, where every frame was a confession and every cut a defense. That insight pulled me from film sets into the human mind. I earned an M.S. in Counseling Psychology at Cal Lutheran University, then a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, specializing in Depth Psychology. In practice, I work psychoanalytically: slowing the film, studying the frame, listening for the lines never spoken. Transference isn’t jargon—it’s the projector casting the past onto the present. Together, we confront the shadows you’d rather cut, because only by facing them can your story move toward freedom.

I work with people who have found it challenging or nearly impossible to exist in this world. I assist these people in developing a bridge back, back into the world and into themselves. I work with people's pain and suffering, wandering into that pain with them, taking pain seriously. My work is constructed differently for each person who walks in: identifying wounds, mending them, and developing novel ways of interacting with the world that provide more energy, meaning, and purpose. I tend to work best with people who have felt let down by therapeutic institutions and are seeking a genuine relational approach.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
