I aspire to create a safe, structured and warm therapeutic environment to facilitate the patient's personal growth while helping patients develop more insight, explore the history of their problems, and recognize unhealthy patterns.
My therapeutic process has developed over 25 years of practice and training. Some of the areas of psychology from which I draw are psychodynamic, attachment theory, object relations and family systems.
My goal is that through therapy, my patients feel understood, supported and comfortably challenged.
During our first meeting we explore together what brought you to therapy..what is occuring in your life that is causing difficulties, and where perhaps you may be hindering yourself. For the most part therapy is a guided process where you learn more deeply about yourself and develop better coping skills with an improved capacity to handle emotional difficulties in a healthy, fulfilling manner.

I seek to offer a welcoming and safe space for you to explore your sense of self and the challenges you may be facing. Due to symptoms that hinder our ability to solve problems and thrive, we can become blocked from experiencing the full range of human emotion. Our sessions will increase your capacity to feel joy, playfulness and a sense of purpose in your life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, transparent and playful while using an integrative mind-body approach. I will encourage you to tap into the creativity and openness that allows you to gain new perspective and discover your own capacity to make meaningful change.

I am currently accepting adult and teen clients for the states of California and Hawaii. A portion of my practice is devoted to the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). OCD can seem like a case of "my mind has turned against me", leading to feelings of confusion, frustration, fear, and shame. If you find yourself bothered, inconvenienced, or seemingly debilitated by OCD- there is help!
I am also passionate about supporting individuals who are early in sobriety or sober-curious. While I do not believe therapy alone may get an individual sober, I do believe therapy can be a useful tool in addition to other interventions.

We are born with a natural yearning to learn, love, be loved and be strong. We naturally respond to life's harder experiences in ways that try to cope with overwhelm, always hoping to feel safe and to grow. Clients often come to me when they are in significant pain, and realizing that their learned ways of surviving aren't helping them cope with life now. Together we'll work to uncover and heal wounds from surviving overwhelm alone. We'll prioritize safety and growth in our work, and use our relationship as a space where it is comfortable to be yourself, while feeling safe enough to take the necessary risks needed to heal.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

You are someone others rely on. You can read the room when things fall apart and carry more than most people realize. You are competent, reliable, and used to operating under pressure. And yet your nervous system does not fully power down and a body that does not fully settle even when you rest. Anxiety hums in the background. Sleep is inconsistent. Your jaw stays tight. Your shoulders rarely drop. Your mind replays conversations long after they are over. Even when you are technically safe, your body is not convinced. You function well. Inside, the cost is adding up.
