There are so many stressors that can affect our daily lives from things that happened a long time ago to current problems. I help support you in working through those stressors in order to make changes and work through difficult emotions caused by depression, anxiety, marital and family issues, and traumatic experiences. I work from the view that you are the expert in your life, and I’m here to support and guide you. I can help you work on changing negative thinking that is keeping you stuck and build on the strengths you already have. I believe that anyone can make changes if they are motivated and stick with the process.

As an empathic and experienced professional, I provide support with compassion and understanding, acknowledging that you are the expert in making the change you want to see in your life. I find it important to honor you and your needs, accept you as you are, and value the unique concerns that you bring. Together we can find healthy and manageable ways for you to heal, cope, or tackle whatever you present with.

Therapy (which comes from the Greek word "to change"), is a very brave and personal endeavor that an individual and/or family undertakes to gain insight into their emotional state, decisions that have been made or to understand behavior. I have a great deal of experience working with families in crisis, children and adolescents with special education needs, adults and parents that are seeking support to parent a difficult and/or challenging child. In addition, I utilize a very supportive, nurturing yet directive approach in my therapeutic process.

Waitlist for in person session. Working through difficult times makes us, and our relationships, stronger. Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

So, you’re looking for a therapist? This search alone can be overwhelming, scrolling from profile to profile, so let me get to the point– If you’re ready to make some changes in your life, I’m here to help. Whether you’re still discovering what those changes are or you already have an idea, we can work together through the process. You may be experiencing anxiety affecting your daily life or relationships, pain from past experiences, or maybe you’re looking to build your self-confidence. Whatever brings you to this page, I’m happy you’re here.

Whether you are dealing with significant life stressors or looking to improve the quality of your interpersonal relationships, you are likely searching for balance, stability, and ultimately, happiness. Therapy is an intricate process of growth and self-discovery; it demands a level of self-introspection and willingness to discover the deeper reaches of yourself. You do not have to remain in a state of depression, anger, or anxiety. You will be provided with a non-judgmental and objective milieu to work toward reduction of unpleasant feelings, debilitating symptoms, interpersonal distress, and more.

My approach to therapy is to provide a supportive environment for change through warmth and compassion. I have more than a decade of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, ADHD, phase of life issues/stressors, parents of incarcerated youth, conduct issues, and other mental health challenges. When necessary, I prescribe emotional support animals for treatment. I am licensed in California and in Utah.

Four years ago I began working with professional athletes and traumatic brain injuries. This opened a huge door for me to understanding that there are many un-diagnosed brain injuries in the US resulting not just from professional sports, but car accidents, bicycle accidents, falls, and a wide assortment of ways in which children, adolescents, and adults receive a blow to the head. Our brains are much more fragile than previously understood. Be aware: chronic pain, chronic fatigue, constant headaches, brain fog, dizziness, loss of balance, poor memory, sensitivity to light/sound, poor sleep patterns, depression/anxiety.

Children, adults and families with a variety of issues are welcomed. I specialize in psychotherapy, biofeedback, neurofeedback, trauma, A.D.D., pain and stress management, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

I work with marital and relationship issues such as: *Divorce, separation and infidelity *Intimacy and communication *Sexual issues *Destructive and sabotaging patterns *Depression *Anxiety *Fears and phobias *Trauma resolution *Self esteem and self concept *Loss and grief *PTSD *Assertiveness & social skills training *Pain Management * A.D.D. and other problems of brainwave disregulation

You long to wake up in the morning less anxious, maybe even excited about your life. Or you're feeling stressed-out, stuck or have conflict in your closest relationships. Maybe pain from infidelity consumes you but you want to try to fix what seems broken. I feel confident (based on many years of experience) that I can help you untangle these knots and weave something new and beautiful from your life. If you've tried therapy before but felt something was missing (maybe too much listening and not enough direction and interventions), let's do it differently this time so you have the knowledge & skills to create your best life.

Often, we struggle with comprehending the nameless emotions that fight to surface in the every day. I will hold a safe and non-judgmental space for you where we can better understand the nature of your confusion and suffering. My approach is gentle but straight-forward, with the collaborative nature of the therapeutic process at the forefront of our sessions. I feel that sometimes our actions, though they may begin as protective coping skills, become destructive over time. I wish to help you reshape those impulses into healthier coping mechanisms that enhance your relationship to the world and yourself.
