Teletherapy for California

The Healing Place is intended to help clients achieve their fullest potential in their relationship to self and others.

My passion is providing therapy to individuals and families to help them have greater joy in their life and relationships and to overcome painful feelings and life experiences.

Don't wait another day to become your best self. The first step in seeking out a therapist can be scary. I know because I have been there before. You've already taken that first step which takes a lot of courage. Life presents challenges and sometimes these challenges can feel impossible to overcome on your own.

Life can feel really overwhelming, especially when the relationships that matter most to us are bringing us the greatest heartache. It doesn't have to be that way. I offer both therapeutic and coaching services to teach you strategies and skills that can help move your life and relationships in the direction you want to go. I can help you feel more confident in your ability to cope with life’s ups and downs; relate to yourself and others with more patience and compassion; and change negative, fearful, or destructive patterns that are getting in the way of the kind of life you want for yourself.

When you’re dealing with relationship struggles, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, isolated, or misunderstood. Whether these challenges are a result of a recent life change, transition into marriage, or becoming new parents, life stressors can make it difficult to feel understood and communicate your emotional, physical and sexual needs with your partner.

Many times people feel they don't have anyone who truly understands them or anyone to show them the compassion they need. I am passionate about providing both understanding and compassion to all of my clients. I really want to hear your own story, understand the dynamics of your specific relationships and help you reach your personal goals and dreams. I've loved and cherished my family relationships, both while growing up, and now with my wife and children. I strive to provide a safe environment to share highs and lows and hopes and fears with clients as they too pursue those cherished relationships.

♡ YOU BELONG HERE ♡ ...................................................................................…...…... It takes courage to ask for help, especially when you’re hurting. Maybe it feels like no one understands. Maybe it feels like no one cares. Maybe it feels like life is too much. Maybe you just need someone to listen, or guide, with love. Here we are.

I'm so glad you're taking the time to begin your healing journey! Life, and the uncertainty that comes along with it, can be very difficult to navigate. I have the experience and treatment skills necessary to help you achieve the life that you want. I have helped both children and adults process trauma and gain effective coping skills for managing anxiety and unwanted thoughts to help them live a more fulfilling life. Our work together will help you gain clarity on how to navigate the problems you are facing by providing you with a safe environment as you begin your journey toward healing.

Our Center helps anyone suffering from unresolved trauma or disturbing experiences. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, hyper-vigilance, restlessness, rage, exhaustion, fatigue, or dissociation. We exist to alleviate the profound suffering of those who have been traumatized in childhood or adulthood. Trauma is often not healed from talk therapy alone. We use cutting edge trauma modalities that access your primitive brain where trauma is stored. Through this, you will release the trauma and all of the physical issues that go along with it, and graduate with a freedom you have never known.

Generally, I treat groups, couples, and individuals--21 years of age or older. I am best suited to treat depression, anxiety, bipolar, alcohol/drug issues, personality disorders, anger, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorders, grief/loss, employment difficulties, military/veterans, spiritual issues, and relationship problems.

Whether you stay in or leave religion or land somewhere in between, the most important thing is that you heal from any aspect of your religious experience that has caused harm. Sometimes religion and mental health compliment one another, sometimes the two are at odds. Regardless of where you are at you deserve compassion and support by a culturally competent therapist who gets it.

My work focuses on helping people find more understanding and fulfillment in themselves and their relationships. I often work with those suffering with shame, trauma, repressed emotions, and relational conflict. I enjoy facilitating with couples, individuals, and families by way of practical approaches, a non-judgmental ear, and perspective-lending observation. I believe precise language and nonverbal communication can be hugely impactful on relationships. Having a safe place to reflect on and identify your personal and relational dynamics can lead to more awareness, skills, and peace in your life.
