I have the knowledge and skill to help you with over 22 years' experience. My clients find a comfortable and supportive atmosphere in session, which usually leads to rapid progress toward their goals.

Depth psychology offers the unique opportunity to improve the circumstances of your outer life through the richness and creativity of your inner life. Call today and explore the possibilities of how therapy can help you.

I often work with individuals who want to better understand themselves and their relationships, improve difficult emotions, rediscover joy, and redefine themselves from painful life experiences. Learning about the mind-body connection, unpacking problematic beliefs of self and/or others, developing effective communication tools, and living authentically are common themes in my practice.

Life is hard, even when it's going well. And then there are the times that it isn't going well, and we need to expand our network of care. Therapy is a helpful process in both times of life. I work to connect with you, follow your needs, support you in the growth and transformation you crave, and help you through the discomfort that change can bring. I believe in the closeness of dualities, such as trauma and resilience, crying and laughing, masculine and feminine, and seeking ways to get these dualities into a closer and more symbiotic relationship with one another.

Transitions are hard. There is often so much shame around trying to figure out who we are and asking for what we want. Am I going to burden others? Am I too much for people if I ask for something that I desire? Am I being "selfish"? Who am I to "demand" others for things I don't think I "deserve"? If these are some of the questions you have asked yourself, then I'm here to help. It's okay to feel lost, like you're wandering the woods alone. I'm here for you so we can wander these woods together.

Stepfamilies & Blended Families are the fastest growing families in the United States! With your blended family comes many opportunities to grow and learn about each other, but also may come with high-conflict former relationships/divorce(s), co-parenting issues, and other trials. I am here to help with the unique blending that occurs pre-marriage, post-marriage, and certainly when families are not blending so easily. I want your family to not only survive, but thrive!

Do you have a hard time saying no? Feel emotionally drained, insecure, or stuck in people-pleasing? Does conflict feel uncomfortable or scary? Do you fall into patterns in relationships, friendships, or work and wish you could break the cycle? Sometimes, it isn't obvious why we do the things we do, but we can sense we're not our most authentic or successful self. And even when we know the cause of our distress, changing our behavior can still be hard. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, pressure, or bias and help you examine the root causes of your challenges to create the change you want in your life.

Change is possible. If you feel overwhelmed, burned out, or find yourself repeating the same relationship cycles, there is hope. Working with a therapist can help you confidently face obstacles and create lasting, positive change in your life. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and reach your full potential using practical tools designed to improve your self-confidence, happiness, and personal insight. I offer a warm, interactive, and non-judgmental space where we can explore the underlying causes of your distress while honoring your individual needs.

Are you feeling lost? Out of control, burned out, stuck, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who graduated from University of La Verne and has a variety of experiences working with children, families, and individuals throughout their lifespan. I work collaboratively with clients to assist them in moving towards healing and integration, acknowledging and validating the struggles along the way while also reorienting clients towards their strengths. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and trauma using evidence based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

My work and life experience repeatedly show me that we long for growth and life giving connections. Yet our behavior patterns, expectations, unmet needs, family dynamics, and coping skills (to name a few) seem to keep us stuck. You don’t need to figure this out on your own.

Everyone can benefit from hypnosis. Whether you need to beat a habit, reduce anxiety or start performing at your best, Hypnotic Healing can help. Having studied a variety of Hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, and Transformational Life Coaching methods, I will have you seeing major improvements in no time.

The teenage years are filled with anxieties of self discovery and identity. As a young adult you may have parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. It can be hard to know how to talk to your parents. This can be a scary time filled with a lot of fear, curiosity, uncertainty, and grief; all of which can complicate your relationship with your family and friends. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.

Well, rest assured that you are not alone and that help is available for you. Whether you are experiencing depression, or anxiety, are recovering from trauma, or have stress in your relationships we can work together to help you to manage whatever is going on.

Whether you are struggling with depression, isolation, anxiety, social-emotional issues, racial inequity, colorism, support through transitions and identifying new passions, struggling with traumatic events, or relationship issues; I am here to support you. My approach includes a toolbox of practices and techniques using Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Relational Therapy, Mindfulness, and Wellness Coaching to help my clients facilitate social, emotional, and behavioral changes.

Feeling weighed down & responsible for how everyone else around you feels is as exhausting as it is frustrating. You’re tired of the emotional burden of saying “yes” when you really mean “no” & of contorting yourself in whatever way will make others feel most comfortable. Now as you step into a new phase of life as a parent, you worry about setting boundaries with intrusive family members. Your stomach twists into knots and your chest tightens thinking about being bulldozed once again by other’s opinions of your choices. Even worse, you could be seen as "the bad guy" and as being "selfish" for speaking up for what you really need.

I help people who feel lost, confused, and hurt to feel whole again. I specialize in healing traumatic wounds, including those from spiritual, sexual, emotional, and physical abuse. While I work with a range of populations, I am particularly passionate about working with Ex-Mormons, LGBTQ+ folx, and those with ADHD. Additionally, I have a special interest in assisting those who have left a high-demand group or cult, an under-recognized and often misunderstood trauma. Together, we can process what has been lost, get in touch with who YOU really are, and start building the life you dream of.

I self identify as Nonbinary and am a LGBTQ+ supportive, affirming therapist. My specialty is transgender, nonbinary, and/or gender questioning adults, and teens. Did you know people can question their gender or even begin to recognize that they don't identify as their sex assigned at birth as early as age 3! Gender identity issues are difficult to navigate...for client AND parents. As a parent, you may experience grief, confusion, overwhelming questions and feelings, plus, your child's own confusion and overwhelming feelings. Come visit for an hour and let's see how we can work through this time together.
