Quality psychotherapy can be life-altering, especially when one is motivated and open to the process necessary for change. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to develop a more grounded sense of self; seeking meaning and direction in work and/or in personal relationships. Adults of all ages come to my practice to improve and enrich their relationships with partners, children, family members, friends and colleagues. Couples look to deepen their connection, learn new communication skills, and resolve and heal from repetitive conflicts so they can cultivate a resilient and joyful partnership with one another.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process - you want to find someone you'll 'click with' and whose style meets your needs. I'm an interactive therapist and I do more than just ask "how does that make you feel?" A lot happens in a single session. I keep things moving along, edging towards your goals, and calling you on things that are in conflict with what you say you want. I offer a safe space for you to be heard, understood, and challenged.

The interface between contemporary psychology and the wisdom of contemplative practice spirituality is central to my work with individuals and couples and to my general approach to therapy. With the use of MINDFULNESS based therapy and a non-judgmental and non-pathological approach I create a healing and supportive environment were growth and transformation can take place through our in depth process of exploration. From this general holistic and contemplative perspective I address a variety of issues of emotional, existential and relational nature with both individuals and couples and would be very happy to help you as well!

Are you at a crossroads - What would it take to turn things around? Are you having the same arguments, not knowing how to break the cycle? Or perhaps you've decided to end your relationship but want to do so in a peaceful, respectful way that won't cause more hurt, especially if you have children together. This is a serious, life changing decision and should not be made out of frustration. Isn't it better to look at all options, get an objective opinion, then make the best choice possible? This is where a neutral professional can help. ***In personal appts only available in Palm Springs / Telehealth sessions available throughout CA

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist working primarily with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety/depression, trauma, and major life events including grief, peri/postpartum, and the aftereffects of infidelity .

When a woman discovers her spouse is involved in sexually compulsive behaviors, she often feels as though the floor has fallen out from underneath her. It seems everything she thought she knew about her spouse and her life is suddenly a lie. She feels the deepest sense of betrayal , and wonders if she will ever trust again. Her world is falling apart and there is nothing to hold onto. She feels all alone and often does not tell another living soul about the horror she has been plunged into.

Are you finding yourself uncomfortably at odds with your partner and other important people in your life? Do you exchange harsh words and criticism when you don't mean to? Do you feel as if you push away the people who are important to you? Many individuals and couples learn to avoid conflict very early in their relationships. Over time, this can lead to resentment, more intense and frequent fighting, exhausting criticism of self and others, unhealthy friends, and long-term problems. Learning how to manage your self in conflict is an attainable skill with tremendous positive influence on your relationships.

When we are struggling to decide what direction to take in our lives, talking to a professional could help us to clarify our ideas. I have been working with couples, individuals, children, adolescents and families for 7 years. I have been treating anxiety, depression, trauma, infidelity , relational problems, etc. I use client centered models and I am trained in EMDR for trauma. My work is based on my clients goals, supporting them on the way to achieve those goals in a gentle manner. Connection is very important between clients and therapist as an any relationship this will facilitate communication and trust.

Everyone needs a space to be completely themselves without judgement or pretense. I work with individual adults, teens, partners, and families. Relationships come in all shapes and sizes; couples, families, and poly-constellations. In relationship counseling I partner with you, working from a place of empathy and personal responsibility, to work through conflict and/or aspects of your relationship you'd like to change and develop tools to improve overall satisfaction and contentment. You may be able to use your PPO out-of-network benefits with just a copay. Ask me how.

What is it that causes you so much pain? Frequently our mental health is directly related to unresolved past hurts and traumas. These struggles can be from childhood and our family of origin, or perhaps they show up in the form of shame from choices we have made or choices other's have made against us. I encourage you to begin the work to overcome your negative experiences. Seek counseling if you want support and direction in gaining a positive perspective, want insight into managing difficult circumstances, or want to improve your communication or conflict resolution skills. You deserve to find fulfillment and joy.

Are you feeling lost in life or in your relationship? My work with couples and individuals is about helping to make sense of what is happening on a deeper level. It may be that you feel anxious, angry or depressed too often. Or you might find yourself acting in ways that hurt instead of help. As we begin to understand what is behind all of this a process gets set in motion. I stay with your through this process as an insightful, empathic and supportive partner.

My main focus is working with couples to resolve long standing negative interaction patterns that repeatedly create distance and distress in the relationship. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), a model of therapy based on extensive scientific research proven to be highly effective in helping clients reconnect. I understand how hard making changes can be and I will provide a safe non-judgmental environment to help you and your partner overcome the difficulties you are struggling with.

When people enter a time in their life or a situation where they may feel down, worried, overwhelmed, or without many options, I believe therapy can shed light on new paths. Using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help people gain a sense of control by teaching them effective ways to communicate, regulate their emotions, and improve interpersonal relationships to bring about needed change. I work collaboratively with my clients and their families so they can improve their quality of life and thrive.
