You're using drugs/alcohol too much, and you can't stop. You are lost, miserable and scared, and you want to be found. I offer a compassionate, supportive and direct approach to help you meet your needs and achieve your goals. You're ready to explore your underlying, and probably ancient, beliefs that you hold about yourself and that fuel chronic negative thoughts and behaviors. We will work together to rediscover your authentic self, that person who was somehow left behind and is waiting for you to come back. I provide an eclectic approach. You receive a personal assessment, then focused treatment that best fits you.

I find it effective to combine behavioral solutions with depth work. Since the unconscious ripples into all aspects of life, I have found that relational therapy addressing unconscious motives can help with most psychological difficulties. In addition to working with individuals, couples & families, I am adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies where I teach in the Masters in Counseling Psychology Department and Psychological Services Clinic.

I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal from our experiences, no matter how difficult, or traumatic. The thought of sharing those experiences with another may feel too personal, and may invoke pain, but it is the beginning of your healing journey. My goals are to help you define your journey and provide a space where you feel seen, validated, and above all else, safe along the way.

Many people come to therapy after reaching a certain breaking point. You've tried everything that's "supposed" to help - yoga, meditation, books, journaling. Maybe you seem to have it all together on the outside, but still feel unhappy, or stuck. If only you could just change -fill in the blank- everything would be better. The growth of social media has impacted how we view ourselves and community, leading to comparison and insecurity. We are conditioned through capitalism to feel somehow "never enough." We may feel behind our peers in dating, career, or friendships - creating isolation and uncertainty about what we want in life.

Wouldn't it be great if you could take control of your life instead of being controlled by anxiety? When we let anxiety rule us, our true selves become buried under layers of tension, confusion, self-doubt, addiction, and other life-draining symptoms and defense mechanisms. However, the good news is that relief, clarity, and self-empowerment are achievable. All it takes on your end is a willingness to show up and do the work of self-examination. My role is to ensure the therapy process is safe, effective, and judgment-free. Together, we can help you develop the emotional mastery needed to feel more free, whole, and aligned.

Are you struggling with what it means to be different in a world that seems to value conformity? Do you struggle with maintaining a healthy weight due to emotional eating? Are you paralyzed by fear of the unknown so much so that you avoid it at all costs? Do you sit down to accomplish something only to be derailed by thoughts of other more enticing activities or by the ping of your cell phone? Do memories of a traumatic even haunt your dreams and keep you frozen in fear? These are just a few of the problems I have helped clients overcome in my practice.
