I have been in the mental health field for over 45 years. During that time, there is very little I haven't been exposed to. I teach in the Counseling Department at Sonoma State University which helps keeps me current on the latest in the psychotherapy world. I have supervised Trainees and Associates as their Clinical Supervisor. Supervising other Clinicians helps me become the best Therapist I can be. Despite all my years of experience, I remain a lifelong student because to be an excellent therapist you need to stay humble and curious.

Look at birds: they make great sky circles of their freedom. How do they learn to do that? They fall, and in falling, they are given wings. -Rumi ...In the course of being human, we all face losses and traumas of different degrees and in the process, find ourselves abandoning parts of ourselves in order to survive emotionally and interpersonally. Therapy is about reclaiming those parts and finding our way home to who we truly are.

Currently, I work with my clients via tele-therapy ( video or phone).
Pregnancy and the postpartum period can be a joyous, fulfilling time for some women. For many others, it is riddled with feelings of depression, anxiety, and confusion. These stressful emotional experiences can be unexpected and unfamiliar, or they can be a return of past symptoms; whatever the case, they interfere with a woman's ability to function and experience daily fulfillment. As a Psychologist and member of Postpartum Support International, I aim to instill hope in women who are suffering that these symptoms are temporary and treatable.

Many of the families I work with come to me feeling uncertain about how to best support a child who is struggling. Whether it’s challenges with attention, learning, or managing emotions, parents often sense that their child’s potential isn’t fully reflected in their daily performance.

I believe some of our greatest challenges can reveal themselves to be opportunities for growth and change. Within ourselves we all carry innate wisdom and the ability to heal. As a clinician it is my goal to support you in reconnecting with your Authentic Self and rediscover the answers already within you, which may help ease your pain and suffering.

The most transformative relationship we will ever have is the one we develop with our own interior. Inner harshness is not a personal failing, but a result of a culture that has lost its grounding in community and connection. Intimacy inside creates intimacy with all life.
My work supports clients to cultivate attunement, curiosity, care, and courage towards themselves so that they bring these qualities to all of life. Our work together is about more than feeling good (though I certainly want that for you!). It is about the truth of who you are and what you’re here to offer.

There is nothing quite like emotional pain. We carry it with us everywhere. It messes up our life. Sometimes it makes us want to hide from other people; sometimes from ourselves. Sometimes we turn to various escapes to quiet that insistent feeling in our bodies. We look to one solution after another until we learn to mistrust every solution. And we are right. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. In fact, there isn't even a one-size-fits-all question. You are unique, and only you have the answer. My role is to help you find it.

Both in-person (Sebastopol, CA) & online therapy offered!
It is within your reach to live a life that is more peaceful, grounded, and fulfilling no matter how you are feeling right now or what happened before. Maybe you feel on edge, alone, triggered all the time, spiraling between overwhelm and numb. You might feel like you cannot trust yourself or others, or are not yourself anymore. Whether you're here because of a trauma or you have had many hardships in life, it is possible to get to the other side - to feel whole, smiling more, fearing less, and finally reclaiming and returning home to yourself.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
Is online therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, online therapy with a licensed therapist or psychologist is covered by insurance under the same criteria as in-person therapy sessions, which is largely due to the significant increase in online therapy use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that as long as the therapist is "in-network" with the client's insurance, and the client meets the coverage criteria imposed by the insurance, they are eligible for online therapy insurance coverage. Depending on the client's plan, there may be applicable co-pays and/ or deductibles that the client is subject to.
