In Person Therapists in Monterey, CA
My approach to my clients is warm, open, and accepting, and, at the same time, I am ready and willing to provide direct and honest feedback. I enjoy bringing a sense of humor and creativity, as well as strong professional ethics to my work. While my initial goal is to work together with my clients to relieve depression, anxiety, trauma, and other problems, ultimately I work with the whole person to develop and utilize his or her strengths to find balance and self-acceptance and to become more open to deeper experiences of love and joy.

The work focuses on revitalization, moving forward, and cultivating deep perspectives. An inner personality force--some call it soul--beckons us ever forward and ever deeper. Our work together helps uncover this innate soul's code. Transformational work can awaken "positive" emotions like reverence, awe, and compassion. With psychological work "what is" becomes a potent deepening agent leading to what still might be that is locked up deep within.

We all develop a set of skills to cope and survive when we are young. This is the beauty of our adaptiveness and our innate pursuit of love, safety, and connectedness. However, for most of us, there reaches a point in life where the skills that once allowed us to survive are now preventing us from living the life we imagined. If you are feeling disconnected and discontented with yourself, your life, and/or your relationships, do not lose hope. It is possible to identify and adapt the patterns that you developed to keep yourself safe and attached.

Sometimes we need extra help when facing particularly painful, overwhelming, or puzzling situations. By setting aside a dedicated time and place in which to bring your full attention (and mine) to the task of sorting out what pains or blocks you, you give yourself the best opportunity to craft the life you wish to live. In the company of a skilled practitioner, the process of therapy can help you work through old patterns and address the challenges at hand. You can experience a greater sense of meaning, purpose, and peace in your life and in your relationships.

Welcome! It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, and it's crucial that you find a therapist you connect with-someone who can really see you so that you can begin to truly see yourself. I see part of my role as helping you bring light into your dark moments & to help you discover what keeps you stuck so that you can live a life of greater peace & freedom. In the last 15 years, I’ve been trained in a wide range of therapies, from IFS, somatic & mindfulness based approaches to CBT and DBT. I believe that good therapy is both science and art, and each session is its own unique encounter.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering individualized, culturally informed services to adults. While my office is located in the Monterey area, I also see clients virtually across the state of California. My specialty areas include, but are not limited to, anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress and grief. I strive to provide each of my clients with an accepting, empowering and nonjudgmental space that fosters meaningful change and success. I take into consideration how one’s upbringing and subsequent life experiences shape how they view themselves and their relational experiences with others.
