Did you know that a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California is only required to take one semester in graduate school on how to work with couples? This is absolutely not enough experience to offer couples meaningful change.
Want to be a power couple? I can show you how. In the past 10 years of my practice, I have seen many couples. I can’t say I’ve seen it all, but I have seen A LOT. Some fight explosively, triggered easily by a snide comment or an exaggerated exhale from their spouse. Others never fight but the distance between them is palpable minute they walk in the room and sit on opposite sides of my couch. However, one thing they all had in common is suffering due to a lack of connection and belonging. Humans are all wired for love and relationship, but unfortunately some never learn the skillsets necessary to be successful at partnership.

If you, your child, or your family are struggling please reach out to me for help.
Everyone has a story they want to tell. Some people just find themselves missing the tools to tell it effectively. Others simply want to revise their story to help them reach new heights. My aim is to help people better understand the themes and parts of their story that have been leading to problems in their lives, while highlighting and focusing on the themes that have led to positivity and success. I do therapy through a Humanistic, narrative lens, helping those under my care with anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as interpersonal issues.

In addition to devoting two decades to the mental health profession, I have a family of my own.
When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Once we know that the fit between us is productive, we'll explore things in greater depth like family of origin, false beliefs we develop about ourselves and the world around us, coping strategies that may no longer be constructive, or behaviors that get in the way of happiness/wholeness.
I know that choosing to enter therapy is a difficult decision. Sometimes it's the result of painful life events. Other times it arises out of a growing sense of unhappiness individually or in a relationship. Whatever the cause, I am committed to making your first steps as comfortable as possible because your ability to be yourself is essential to the process. So that you know to expect, the process begins by setting up an initial appointment. There we'll discuss what brings you to therapy. Together we'll discern if we have the possibility of a good therapeutic relationship.

An additional area of expertise is my experience as a litigation paralegal and certified mediator, offering cordial, solution-focused services in high-conflict situations, including divorce, business, estate, or family disputes, and an array of mental health crises.
When thinking about how to introduce myself, I invariably return to what I personally require when choosing a therapist – genuine commitment, personal sincerity and clinical expertise. I'm dedicated to the core belief that a good therapist is one who gently guides a client to uncover the emotional stumbling blocks causing anxiety, pain or inertia so they can move forward in their life. My therapeutic style exudes compassion, while equally engaging in honest, candid conversations to uncover the personal pain points, challenges, and stressors that ultimately brought the client to therapy.

EMDR: Narrative: Gestalt: Trauma Therapy: Couples Therapy: Family Therapy: Sometimes all that is needed for a psychological wound to heal is a space in which the story can be heard. I have a passion of working with trauma survivors. I understand that not all trauma is the same and can affect us differently in a variety of ways that may cause problems in how we feel, how we engage in relationships, and how we function in daily living. I have extensive experience with individuals who have been impacted by traumatic events and the ability to support the healing process thereby leading to improved and more meaningful lives.

The ideal client is someone who comes to therapy with a willingness to work on his/her issues. I am experienced in child, adolescent, family and individual. It is possible that you've been to therapists and counselors in the past, and you've been disappointed by the lack of concern and care. It is my firm belief that no one deserves to endure the pain of psychological affliction, especially when real help is available. I do everything within my means to ensure my clients' success, and if you happen to be struggling, I want to extend the same help to you.

My work draws on cognitive-behavioral (CBT, ACT, DBT, CPT), emotion-focused (EFT), and couple/family (EFT, IBCT, Family Systems) approaches to treat depression, anxiety, trauma, emotion dysregulation, and relationship difficulties.

My work with couples and families focuses on interrupting destructive patterns and promoting more attuned connections. I particularly enjoy working with clients who want to build more fulfilling relationships and meaningful lives in the wake of major stress.
